“I’m Not Afraid to Die” – Aisha Yesufu

According to a report by Daily Post on Sunday, November 15, 2026, Nigerian activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has issued a strong message to supporters of Peter Obi, urging them to remain determined and resist intimidation as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Yesufu made the remarks during a town hall meeting organised by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos. Speaking at the gathering, the activist encouraged party members to stand up against individuals attempting to frustrate their political ambitions. She also cautioned Obi against allowing his reputation for being peaceful and diplomatic to discourage supporters from defending their interests.

Addressing the former presidential candidate, Yesufu maintained that his supporters should be prepared to confront anyone attempting to undermine their political movement, insisting that they would not tolerate intimidation.

She further expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the country, arguing that Nigerians must take responsibility for creating a better future rather than allowing subsequent generations to inherit worsening conditions.

In one of the most striking moments of her address, Yesufu declared that she was no longer afraid of death, linking her determination to fight for national progress to her disappointment over the country’s present condition.

She said, “I’m not afraid to die because I died a long time ago when I couldn’t keep the Nigeria I met for my children.” The activist also rejected the idea of Nigerians accepting oppression in their homeland, stressing that citizens should not surrender their rights or political aspirations.

As part of her message, Yesufu called on NDC supporters to strengthen their grassroots campaign by visiting communities, engaging residents and spreading their political message across different neighbourhoods.

She expressed confidence in the party’s chances, urging members to maintain their mobilisation efforts and campaign continuously, with faith that their collective determination would produce electoral success.
