‘Very cowardly’ — Aisha Yesufu blasts Nigerian men in politics

Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has described Nigerian men in politics as “very cowardly” after Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara declared Nyesom Wike the common leader of political actors in the state.

Yesufu reacted to a post on X, featuring Fubara telling those who called him their leader during the political crisis to stop doing so because they now had a common leader.

“That is the typical behavior of Nigerian men in politics. They are quick to grovel, ass lickers and very cowardly!!” Yesufu wrote.

She argued that women in politics were usually bolder and more willing to stand their ground, urging men to show greater conviction.

“The women are usually bolder and can stand their grounds,” she added, before challenging men: “Please own your gender with your full chest!”
