Popular socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has called on Nigerians to actively participate in the emerging political coalition being formed by prominent politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Her message comes amid reports that Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, and Chibuike Amaechi are collaborating in a strategic alliance aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Yesufu warned against leaving politics solely in the hands of the elite who can afford to purchase ₦200 million nomination forms.
“Dear Nigerians, be the drivers of the coalition. Participate in it. Call the shots! Make demands!” she wrote.
“Ask for seats, tickets! While the usual politicians are positioning for the executive positions, position for the legislative position.”
Yesufu encouraged citizens to take charge of political conversations at all levels — from state assemblies to the National Assembly, stressing that true change requires inclusive participation beyond money and influence.
