Sociopolitical activist, Aisha Yesufu, has provided ten
reasons she cannot be a running mate to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate
of the Labour Party, LP.
She gave the reasons while responding to calls by many
social media users, who were asking her to deputize Obi.
In a tweet she shared on Friday, Aisha gave ten reasons it
is almost impossible for her to join Obi’s presidential race.
“For those who have been asking, here are 10 reasons I
cannot be Peter Obi @PeterObi ‘s running mate!
It’s a thread!” She tweeted.
For her number one reason, Aisha said she was not at a place
to serve, adding that anything she does she does with her heart, body and soul.
“ I am from South South, Peter Obi is South East (An all
Southern ticket is insensitive just like Muslim-Muslim ono), the Edo-born
social activist, added.
“For many who still do not know. I am from Agbede (Kukuruku
empire) in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State! My coconut head come
from ancestors!
“I am a very passionate person & unafraid to match toes
on issue of Justice, accountability and human rights & there are people who
love me dearly and also others who hate me passionately. At this fragile time,
Peter Obi cannot afford to antagonise any group! Perception is key!
“So my support for Peter Obi will do more good than me being
his running mate.
“Those who love me will jump on board. Those who hate me
will be able to overlook as I am only a supporter!
(We have to think a million steps ahead)
“I love campaigns! I can sell someone but I will not be able
to sell myself.
“Vote for me because I am a better candidate! Who told me I
am a better candidate?!
“I can say vote for him or her because he or she is a better
candidate.
Even in business I can’t market my goods
“I am not a process person & not too good with
day-to-day management.
I am more of a strategist. I can gauge a situation & see
an angle people are not looking at or focused on or I can to an extent see how
a situation will play out.
I prefer working on where my strength is!
“I will not make a good party person for now because I can
not keep quiet when a party does anyhow because it is my party. They will
suspend me for anti party activities
“I love the freedom of controlling my time! As a public
servant, or elected official or an appointee I will give up that freedom. I
will now have to go to office daily and on time. I cannot travel out when I
want and stay as long as I want if I am a public servant.
“Also I will not be able to talk anyhow to people who come
to my TL and do anyhow because they would be my bosses as per taxpayers! I love
my mouth too much. You people know i don’t subscribe to the ideology of if they
go low you go high!
” The last but not the least is that I will be forced to be
politically correct. Not say things that should be said but things that will
make people feel good!
No way!
“I am a person at peace because my outside matches my inside
always.
How i feel inside is what you see outside!”
