Nigerian activist and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Campaign, Aisha Yesufu has finally declared herself a politician.
Aisha who has always identified as “Active Citizen” announced the new identity on Tuesday Afternoon, March 5, on her verified X page.
She wrote: “I am a politician. All my life I have made choices.”
She went on to address those who see Nigerian politics as dirty, saying, “roll up the sleeves let’s get it clean.”
“I am into the Nigerian Politics and on my watch and in places I operate from I will ensure it is clean.
Any talk of being ashamed of politics or regretting politics, count me out. If you say Nigerian politics is dirty, roll up the sleeves let’s get it clean.
Doing nothing never solves anything. Nature abhors vacuum. If you stay away, others will occupy the space and make the decisions on your behalf,” She concluded.
