Female Activist Aisha Yesufu Blasts NDC Leadership: “Senseless, Unreliable and Lowlife Clowns”

Female Activist Aisha Yesufu has reportedly launched another blistering attack on the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), with a statement circulating online in which she allegedly described the party as a gathering of “senseless, unreliable and lowlife clowns,” while making an exception for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. The explosive claim is the latest development in an increasingly public disagreement between Aisha Yesufu and senior NDC figures, particularly national leader Seriake Dickson.

The exact wording is currently circulating on social media, but OGM News could not independently verify the quoted statement from a primary source. What can be independently established is that Aisha Yesufu has publicly criticised Dickson and the NDC’s handling of the party’s internal affairs, making the latest claim consistent with a dispute that has already spilled into the public domain.

AISHA YESUFU’S DISPUTE WITH DICKSON ESCALATES

The confrontation between Aisha Yesufu and Dickson became public in June after Dickson discussed the NDC’s post-primary controversies during an interview. Yesufu accused him of appearing insecure and behaving as though he was competing with Peter Obi instead of concentrating on presenting the party and its candidates as a credible force ahead of the 2027 election.

Aisha Yesufu also criticised Dickson’s handling of the party’s internal disputes, arguing that his media appearance should have been used to reassure supporters and project confidence in the NDC’s electoral prospects. She questioned whether the party leadership was sufficiently focused on its stated objective of winning the 2027 presidential election.

The disagreement was partly connected to Aisha Yesufu’s own experience during the NDC’s primaries. She had sought the party’s ticket to contest for the Federal Capital Territory Senate seat but became dissatisfied after the party decided not to conduct a primary for the position. Yesufu subsequently accused the party of undermining the process and urged her supporters to remain focused on the larger political objective.

DICKSON RESPONDS AS NDC INTERNAL TENSIONS GROW

Dickson subsequently revealed that he and Peter Obi had previously offered Aisha Yesufu an opportunity to contest for a House of Representatives seat, but that she rejected the offer because she wanted to pursue the Senate position. Dickson also warned supporters of Obi against attacking the NDC or its leadership, arguing that such criticism could weaken the political platform on which Obi is seeking the presidency.

The exchange highlights a broader question confronting the NDC: how can a relatively new opposition platform maintain internal discipline while accommodating activists, political newcomers and established political figures with strong individual followings? Aisha Yesufu’s public criticisms have brought that question into sharp focus, particularly because of her prominent support for Obi and her willingness to challenge senior party figures openly.

The latest alleged statement therefore carries considerable political weight, but it should be treated cautiously until the original source is established. Social-media posts are currently circulating the quotation attributed to Aisha Yesufu, while established reports confirm her earlier criticisms of Dickson and the NDC. OGM News will not present an unverified viral quotation as a confirmed direct statement.

For OGM News NG, the unfolding Aisha Yesufu controversy represents more than another political quarrel. It exposes the difficult balance between loyalty to a political candidate and loyalty to the political organisation carrying that candidate’s presidential ambition. With Peter Obi at the centre of the NDC’s 2027 strategy and internal disagreements already becoming public, the party’s ability to resolve its differences could prove just as important as its ability to challenge the ruling establishment. OGM News will continue to monitor the dispute and provide verified updates as the political drama develops.
