An old tweet of Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu and strong supporter of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, praising President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress has caused a stir on social media.
Naija News reports that Aisha is strongly behind the LP candidate in his quest to reclaim his ‘stolen mandate’ in which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Tinubu the winner of the presidential election after he polled the highest number of votes in the 2023 general elections.
Tinubu had polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who had 6,984,520 votes and 6,101, 533 votes respectively and both filed petitions challenging Tinubu’s victory.
However, contrary to her stance in the past, old tweets of the activist showed her praising Tinubu’s strategic planning, tenacity and consistency in building his party, the APC.
One of her tweets read; “Tinubu has shown what consistency can do. He builds the opposition to what it is today. Strategic decision very key.”
Another one reads, “Have you seen what tinubu has done? That’s delayed gratification. Slowly building his party. One day”
The tweets have sparked reactions amongst Nigerians on social media who accused the activist of standing in opposition to someone she had once showed support of his hhard workand tenacity.
