Prominent activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has described the 2027 general election in Nigeria as a decisive battle for the country’s future, warning that citizens must not remain passive observers as the political climate intensifies.

“Let me repeat, 2027 election is WAR! Nigerians are fighting for their lives and the soul of Nigeria.
“This is not the time to be a bystander, the more incidents, the more likely we become victims!
“Yesterday’s victims were once survivors, today’s victims were yesterday’s survivors and tomorrow’s victims will be today’s survivors. WHO IS NEXT?
“The truth will always set you free! No matter what you do, ensure you perch on the side of truth and justice!
“It might not earn you love but it will definitely earn you peace of mind and capacity to answer any question thrown at you by any journalist.”
