VIDEO] Aisha Yesufu Compares Peter Obi to Mandela, Vows to Oppose Him If He Seeks Second Term

Activist Aisha Yesufu has compared Peter Obi to Nelson Mandela, saying the former Labour Party presidential candidate has the same disposition to serve, leave a legacy, and move on. Speaking on Arise TV, she reaffirmed her vow to oppose Obi if he seeks a second term, saying she extracted a fresh commitment from him after the 2023 election. She said Obi told her: “When I say something, I mean it.” Yesufu said she envisions Obi being remembered as the father of modern-day Nigeria a century from now.

Key Points:

Yesufu has staked her reputation on Obi keeping his one-term pledge.
She compares Obi’s leadership philosophy to that of Mandela and Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew.
A one-term leader would be free from re-election calculations, she argues.
Yesufu says she will oppose Obi “with everything in me” if he breaks his word.
The comparison to Mandela sets a very high bar for Obi’s potential presidency.
