Activist Aisha Yesufu has said she would strongly oppose Peter Obi if he becomes president and decides to serve beyond a single term.

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Monday, Yesufu emphasised that Obi must honour his repeated promise to serve only one term if elected.

“If Mr. Peter Obi gets into office and decides to do more than one term, I, Aisha Yesufu, said it here, I will oppose him with everything in me because he gave his word, and if he has given his word, he has to stick to his word,” she said.

She noted that Obi’s position on a single-term presidency predates the 2023 general election, stressing that she had personally engaged him on the matter.

“And by the way, he didn’t start saying it after the 2023 election. He was saying it before the 2023 election,” she said.

Recounting her interaction with the former Anambra governor, Yesufu disclosed that she had initially questioned the feasibility of the pledge but later sought a direct reaffirmation from him after the election.

“After the 2023 election, when he repeated it, I sat down with Mr. Peter Obi, and I said to him, I need your word on this… Is it true? You’re going to do just one term,” she said.

According to her, Obi reaffirmed his commitment during the discussion.

“He said, Aisha, I told you even in 2023, and I still mean it, because I said I’m going out and I’m telling people, this is what you have said, and I’m putting my name on it. I don’t joke with my name. I don’t joke with my integrity when I say something, I mean it,” she added.

Yesufu maintained that any attempt by Obi to renege on the promise would be resisted.

“He said he gave his word. He can’t come back and say that he’s going to do more than one term. We will fight him there,” she said.

She, however, expressed confidence that Obi would remain true to his commitment, describing him as “a man who keeps his word.”

This hijab dancing mama again.

Well, Nigerians have made their decision, and that decision is clear. They are unwilling to grant even a fraction of a term to that gazetted agulu fraud.

You not even planning how he will win the election,before talking of one term. Pray he even appears on the ballot. With the ADC crisis, his not sure if the platform to contest with.

Who be this one? Who wan give obi ticket? Obi can't win any primaries. All these clowns deceiving Obi. Why others are busy trying to resolve the crisis in the party, these clowns are busy talking trash. These are the clowns Obi is taking advice from, shame. Only reason Atiku and ADC brought Obi in is to get some of these southern votes. The highest Obi will get is VP, after Atiku is done serving as president ( if he wins) they will look for a competent and serious igbo man to replace him, Obi is not fit to be president

Aisha Yesufu should stop daydreaming.... Peter Obi will only be president of his obedient group and not Nigeria president.

Don't ever stress yourself. He is not going to be president now or never. Characters like P. Obi and people like you will never be allowed near the Presidency even by 100 kilometers

Clowns doing what clowns do. They think this is a circus. These people probably consider everyone else as "intelligent" as the average Obidient.

You should be more concerned about how to outsmart the dollar man at primary election first

Loool. Who wan dash monkey banana? Obi can only be president of his town union

What if he becomes the solution Nigeria needs? You think we would care about these nonsense you are saying?
These people have started whining themselves again. In other news, a third faction has emerged in the same ADC

Werey ......no even talk about Adc crisis and how to come out ot INEC Wahala first.....

Bunch of perpetual liars! Half-term self he will not see not to talk of one-term.

If they give her ordinary PA to SA in Obi govt, her rhetoric will suddenly change ......since 60 years of independence of Nigeria, Igbo never enjoy the goodies, we should allow them to have full 8 years.


Meanwhile, a serious note, if Obi become president and perform incredible well, why will his govt cut short, just because they want to placate a section of country.

Peter Obi is too demented to be reasoned with. The crook has never kept a promise in his life. He is a pathological liar and cannot be trusted. Besides he will never be President, so Yesufu stop dreaming about the ministerial portfolio he will give you.

Sadly Obi will not win the election

Lol, e be like papa wey flog em pikin for scratching car wey he imagine to buy. Just delusional. I no go blame her sha. I believe Peter Obi is bankrolling her. So she must show working with her chochocho.

Simple Summary, even if ADC cases are over and Obi emerges as flag bearer and INEC allow them run with two vice, Kwankwaso and El-Rufai, Obi will not win.
Nigeria is not for him.

From the same person who can't account for the campaign funds, she was told to manage...

Ways by which Peter Obi can win the election:

1. He should beg his supporters to avoid abusing tribes, rather they should abuse Tinubu as much as possible. My reason is that there are millions of Tinubu's tribespeople who were and are willing to vote for Peter Obi, but when Obidients abused the hell out of their tribes before election date, they changed it and turned everything to tribal election.

2. Kwankwaso should go as a running mate. With this, the north would be secured for Obi and the east is already tied down for him. Lagos and Abuja will be in the bag for Obi and then some parts of South West will vote for him.

3. A massive campaign should be done all over the country by the Obidients. The campaign should be titled "Chop and Clean Mouth."
This means that when they pay you for voting, collect their money and go there to vote otherwise. Let them know that this is the best way of revenging against APC wickedness, at least for now. Chop and Clean Mouth campaign should be made very very viral on twitter, Instagram, YouTube and all over social media and on the streets. T-shirts of CHOP AND CLEAN MOUTH should be made. People should wear that T-shirt everywhere. Sensitise the people to such a level that they will know that selling their vote means selling the future of their descendants and generations to come.

4. Obidients should tackle anybody abusing Tinubu's tribe on social media. They should inform those people to attack Tinubu directly. They should also avoid attacking the Northern tribes who are also needed for winning the election. They should channel 100% criticism towards Tinubu. You can't win an election by fighting potential voters or trying to force them into voting for you. If you think by cursing and insulting some people, they will change and support your own candidate, you are on a long thing.

5. Obidients should have people in every polling unit to record the final vote results. They should also involve international bodies and keep using the words 'America is watching' 'UK is watching' etc. Any ballot snatcher caught should be dealt with severely.

6. Lastly, they should pressurise whoever will be the Inec Chairman not to accept any money from Tinubu to change results. They should make him get scared of them. They should try to let him know that they have employed international experts who are watching him closely , his communications and everything. So whatever he is trying to do they will know.

Note: I am not a supporter of any politician. So please in case Obi gets there in the future and shock all of us with the usual politician behaviours of 'I don't care' pls don't quote me to say that I am the cause of Nigeria problem o. My hands are clean. I no dey o

AWONEYAN:

You dey mind oluku. Dey form integrity. If you see their chats now your mouth no go fit close again.

I don't believe that Peter obi will use one terms as promised but till then sha.

And what if he refuses ,,, no one can force him to do one term, it can only come from him.
