NDC Primaries: How Aisha Yesufu rejected Reps ticket – Dickson

NDC leader Seriake Dickson revealed that he and presidential candidate Peter Obi initially offered activist Aisha Yesufu a House of Representatives ticket, which she rejected. Dickson made this known during a press conference in Abuja on Friday, amid controversy over the party's FCT senatorial primaries.

Yesufu had alleged that the senatorial primaries were manipulated against her. Dickson, however, stressed that she turned down the lower chamber ticket despite intense competition for it. "Do you know that Peter Obi and myself offered Aisha House of Reps? You, the public, you don't know. And she turned it down," Dickson said. He added: "House of Representatives ticket that people are fighting for. But she's too big." Dickson did not specify when or for which FCT constituency the offer was made.
