Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has backed the senatorial ambition of fellow activist Aisha Yesufu, who is contesting the FCT seat in the 2027 general elections, while criticising her party choice.
Sowore made the remarks on Monday during an interview on Channels Television, where he said activists should not stay out of politics.
“No, I totally support her. I’ve always told her that good people, people who believe that they can do things, should get into politics,” he said.
He added that political participation remains a key form of activism, saying, “The business of politics is actually the biggest activism that has to be done to save society.”
While expressing support for her ambition, he said she was aligned with the wrong party and should have joined his own platform.
