A human rights activist and political commentator, Aisha Yesufu, has declared his intention to openly oppose former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, if he fails to keep his promise to serve only one term as President.
Yesufu, one of the supporters of Obidient Movement, made this declaration during an appearance on Arise Television, where she emphasised the importance of accountability and integrity in leadership.
Yesufu explained that Obi’s one-term commitment predates the 2023 general election, noting that it has been a consistent position.
“If Mr Peter Obi gets into office and decides to do more than one term, I, Aisha Yesufu, said it here, I will oppose him with everything in me because he gave his word, and if he has given his word, he has to stick to his word.

“And by the way, he didn’t start saying it after the 2023 election. He was saying it before the 2023 election,” she added.
She further disclosed that she personally sought clarity from Obi after the election to confirm his stance on the issue.
“After the 2023 election, when he repeated it, I sat down with Mr Peter Obi, and I said to him, I need your word on this… Is it true? You’re going to do just one term,” she said.
According to her, Obi reaffirmed his position during that discussion.
“He said, Aisha, I told you even in 2023, and I still mean it… I don’t joke with my integrity when I say something; I mean it,” she stated.
Yesufu maintained that any deviation from that promise would be strongly resisted.
“He said he gave his word. He can’t come back and say that he’s going to do more than one term. We will fight him there,” she said.
She, however, expressed confidence that Obi would remain true to his word, stressing that leadership should be built on trust and consistency.
