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

Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu called Nigerian men in politics “very cowardly” after Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara declared Nyesom Wike the common leader of political actors in the state. Responding on X to a post showing Fubara telling people who had called him their leader to stop, Yesufu criticized men for groveling and flattering political figures. She said women in politics were usually bolder and more willing to stand their ground, and urged men to show greater conviction.
