Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu has said that her experience in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taught her more than any political science degree could offer.
Yesufu made the remark in a statement shared on her verified X handle on Saturday, where she reflected on her involvement in the party.
“The things I am learning just by being a registered member of ADC, no political science degree would have taught me those things and I love it. Political parties are where the real power brokering takes place. Joining ADC is the best decision I have ever made,” she said.
The activist joined the ADC on December 31, 2025, shortly after the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, defected to the party.
Yesufu has also recently advised opposition leaders, including Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to adopt practical campaign strategies that directly address the economic hardship faced by many Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
She argued that widespread poverty has shifted public focus toward immediate survival needs rather than political messaging.
