Power without representation casts long shadows. As Nigeria's opposition rallies behind the ADC, activist Aisha Yesufu has warned that real change demands more than familiar faces at the table. According to reports from Daily Post, her message pierced the symbolism of unity with a call for structural inclusion.
- Aisha Yesufu criticised the ADC’s leadership makeup as male-dominated and generationally imbalanced
- She urged the coalition to avoid token roles for youth and women
- Yesufu called for women and young people to become decision-makers, not delegates
- Her statement followed the ADC’s adoption by leading opposition figures
- Former Senate President David Mark was named interim chairman of the coalition
- ADC executives stepped down to make room for the opposition coalition
- Yesufu remains a prominent supporter of the Labour Party’s Peter Obi
Power Without Representation Casts Long Shadows: Yesufu’s challenge reflects a broader frustration: coalitions built for tomorrow must not be led solely by yesterday. Tokenism won't fuel a revolution.
