NDC: “You Seem to Be Fighting a War No One Is Waging Against You” — Aisha Yesufu Replies Dickson
NDC senatorial aspirant for the Federal Capital Territory, Aisha Yesufu, has taken a swipe at the party’s national leader, Seriake Dickson, over comments he made during a recent interview.
In a lengthy post on X, Yesufu described the interview as “painfully appalling” and said Dickson should have focused on reconciling aggrieved party members rather than making remarks she considered divisive.
Her response came after Dickson suggested that Yesufu’s popularity on social media may make her unwilling to abide by party rules.
Yesufu maintained that party leaders should be working to unite members and address concerns within the NDC rather than making statements that could deepen internal tensions.
Reacting to the interview, Yesufu said, “It seems as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you.
“You rather ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer!
“Your first one-on-one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself.
“With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively. The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself.”
