Human rights activist and politician, Aisha Yesufu, has blasted Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, accusing the leader of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) of focusing on personal relevance rather than building momentum for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yesufu's criticism came in response to Dickson's interview on Arise News TV on Wednesday night, during which he addressed concerns surrounding the party's recently concluded primaries and acknowledged reports of irregularities in the exercise.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Yesufu said she was disappointed by Dickson's remarks and leadership approach, arguing that he failed to reassure aggrieved party members and instead projected an image of insecurity.
She said, "Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, while I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate, I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened.
