Activist Aisha Yesufu entered the National Democratic Congress primaries as an aspirant for the FCT Senatorial District ticket, but she walked away alleging the process was manipulated against her.
According to Dickson, the party offered Yesufu a House of Representatives ticket as an alternative, but she turned it down. The offer, it seems, was not the seat she came for.
The details of what exactly happened inside those primaries remain contested, and Yesufu's allegations of manipulation raise questions the NDC has yet to publicly answer. Whether she pursues another path to elected office is a story worth watching.
