Rather than thaw, the crisis rocking primaries of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has deepened.
The party’s National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, has disclosed that himself and the presidential candidate in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, tried endlessly to persuade popular activist, Aisha Yesufu, to seek election into the House of Representives but she bluntly refused.
To her, the lower chamber of the National Assembly “is too small for her”.
The former governor of Bayelsa State disclosed this in Abuja.

“We offered Aisha Yesufu a ticket to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, but she declined.
“The public is unaware of several efforts made by the party to accommodate key figures, including Yesufu, who is a prominent activist and supporter of Obi. “Did you know that Peter Obi and myself offered Aisha House of Reps? You the public, you don’t know.
“She turned it down. House of Representatives that people are fighting for, she said she’s too big for it”.
