Aisha Yesufu Joins NDC, Seeks FCT Senate Seat in 2027

Aisha Yesufu, an activist turned politician, has officially defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC). She made this announcement on Wednesday, declaring her intent to contest for the FCT Senate seat in the upcoming 2027 elections.

Yesufu expressed her belief that her move will reshape the contest for the FCT Senate seat, which is expected to include potential contenders such as the current Senate incumbent and lawmakers representing the FCT. She reportedly enjoys the support of the former governor of Anambra State, which may bolster her campaign efforts.

Yesufu's political journey reflects her commitment to engaging in the electoral process and influencing governance in the Federal Capital Territory.
