A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ayekooto Akindele, has linked Aisha Yesufu’s criticism of a recent interview granted by the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, to her failure to secure the party’s senatorial ticket.
Recall that Aisha, an activist and NDC chieftain, on Monday criticized Obi’s interview with Channels TV host Seun Akinbaloye, claiming that she wasted her time watching the question and answer session.
According to her, there was no new questions and the former governor of Anambra State did not make any remark that Nigerians are not familiar with.
Reacting, Ayekooto in a post on his Facebook page, said he suspected Aisha Yesufu’s anger followed her loss at the NDC FCT senatorial primary.
“The anger was aggravated when NDC centralised the campaign purse and Obi hasn’t criticised that in any of his numerous interviews, so “what’s the essence of the interviews if Obi cannot defend you politically and financially?”
Ayekooto wondered why Aisha would “go on social media to criticize his boss”.
“Why can’t she advise him during their strategic session or, at best, during a private meeting?
“Or have those mannerless randy and pee or poo dislodged her from a position of influence in their cabal?
“Because if you have someone’s ears, according to Fashola, you don’t go public to advise such a fellow,” he added.
