Activist and prominent Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) member, Aisha Yesufu, has called on her supporters to remain focused on securing victory for the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2027 general election.

Yesufu made the appeal in a post shared on her X account on Thursday, urging supporters to avoid distractions and concentrate their efforts on what she described as the larger political objective.

According to her, discussions that do not directly relate to Peter Obi's presidential ambition should be ignored until after the next general election.

"My dear supporters, remember, we have moved on and focused on the bigger picture," she wrote.

"Any conversation that is not about the 2027 presidential election and how to get Peter Obi elected and sworn into office, please ignore."

She further stated that responses to ongoing political debates and controversies could wait until after the election, stressing that her current attention remains fixed on the presidential contest.

"After the 2027 General Elections, we will have the luxury to respond if it is worth our time. For now, we will continue with our tunnel vision on the presidential election," she added.

Her remarks come amid renewed discussions about internal developments within the NDC, particularly regarding the party's legislative ticket allocation process.

Meanwhile, the National Secretary of the NDC, Ikenna Enekweizu, has provided additional insight into the circumstances surrounding Yesufu's political aspirations within the party.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Enekweizu disclosed that Peter Obi had personally supported the idea of Yesufu contesting for the House of Representatives seat representing the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency.

According to him, the recommendation emerged during consultations aimed at reaching consensus on candidates and minimizing internal disagreements ahead of the elections.

Enekweizu explained that the proposal formed part of broader efforts by party leaders to ensure balance and strategic positioning across various elective offices.

However, he revealed that Yesufu ultimately opted to pursue a senatorial ticket instead of the House of Representatives position suggested during the discussions.

"Peter Obi told me personally that he wanted Aisha Yesufu to run for the House of Representatives for AMAC/Bwari. But she chose Senate instead," Enekweizu said.

The party secretary noted that it is common for political parties to advise members on the positions they should contest in order to strengthen overall electoral prospects and maintain internal balance.

He added that while aspirants have the freedom to make personal decisions regarding their political ambitions, party leadership often seeks to align individual aspirations with broader organizational goals.

Addressing concerns from members who were unsuccessful in securing party tickets, Enekweizu acknowledged that disappointment is a natural part of political competition.

He emphasized that the NDC has established mechanisms for resolving grievances and handling disputes arising from the candidate selection process.

According to him, the party leadership remains committed to preserving unity and ensuring that internal disagreements do not undermine preparations for future elections.

Enekweizu also expressed confidence that ongoing engagement among party stakeholders would help strengthen cohesion as the NDC intensifies preparations for the 2027 electoral contest.
