Human rights activist and former Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial aspirant for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Aisha Yesufu, has said that voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) would amount to allowing insecurity to persist in Nigeria.
Yesufu made the statement on Sunday via a post on her verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where she strongly criticised the current state of security in the country and called on citizens to take action through the ballot.
According to her, the rising wave of killings, kidnappings, and general insecurity across Nigeria should compel voters to make deliberate choices in future elections.
“Any vote for APC is a vote for terrorists to continue in the country,” she stated, linking the ruling party to the worsening security situation.

Nigeria has in recent times witnessed increased cases of violent attacks and abductions in several regions, with communities repeatedly calling for improved security measures and government intervention.
Beyond her criticism, Yesufu urged Nigerians, particularly those who are eligible to vote, to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), stressing that civic participation remains a powerful tool for change.
She noted that many Nigerians often pray for change and transformation, but emphasized that such expectations can only be realised through active participation in the electoral process.
“The miracle people have been praying for is more achievable with their PVCs,” she added, encouraging citizens to see voting as a responsibility rather than an option.
Yesufu, known for her vocal stance on governance and accountability, has consistently advocated for citizen engagement, transparency, and reforms within Nigeria’s political system.
Her latest remarks have since sparked conversations online, with supporters echoing her call for increased voter participation, while others debated her criticism of the ruling party.
As Nigeria approaches another election cycle, concerns around security, governance, and voter turnout are expected to dominate public discourse, with voices like Yesufu’s continuing to shape political conversations and influence public opinion.
