Unexpected Of You – Bashir Ahmad Tackles Aisha Yesufu Over Peter Obi’s Campaign Fund

Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, has called out Aisha Yesufu, a popular socio-political activist, over the campaign fund of Peter Obi in the last general elections.

Ahmad is wondering why Yesufu has yet to release the financial statement for Obi’s presidential campaign.

The Labour Party, LP, had in October 2023 made public a website where they asked Nigerians at home and abroad to donate funds to the campaign.

The party’s presidential candidate, Obi, also begged Nigerians for help in December 2022, releasing bank account details on X then known as Twitter.

But Nigerians are still waiting for the statement of account for the campaign ten months after the election.

Aisha, who was one of the signatories to the Obi/Baba-Ahmed Campaign Organisation, in September 2023 promised to make the statement of account for the campaign public after the conclusion of Obi’s petition at the Supreme Court.

And dragging her on X on Thursday afternoon, Bashir, who contested for a House of Assembly seat in Kano State and lost, tweeted, “It’s quite unexpected that Aisha Yesufu, who often portrays herself as the epitome of integrity, is now facing calls from left, right and center to fulfill her own promises.

“Despite her earlier commitment to disclose the financial statement for the Peter Obi presidential campaign immediately after the Supreme Court judgment, months passed now, and there has been no word from her.

“The delay in releasing the statement, even if she does it tomorrow, makes it lose its initial honor and timeliness. Keep your promise.”
