Why I voted for Buhari, APC in 2015 – Aisha Yesufu

Aisha Yesufu, a social critic and staunch supporter of Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last general election, has explained why she voted for former President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 election.

Yesufu revealed that she voted for the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Buhari in 2015 because of Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

Osinbajo was Buhari’s running mate in the 2015 presidential election.

In a post on her X handle on Monday, Yesufu claimed that although Buhari was known for delegating responsibilities, Osinbajo became a toothless collaborator under his administration.

According to her, a Vice President in the Nigerian context is worse than a spare tyre.

She said: “The reason I voted for APC in 2015 was because of Prof. Osinbajo. It still took me up to February before I finally came to terms with voting for Gen. Buhari, the same Gen. Buhari I had vowed never to support again after the 2011 riots.

“Gen Buhari is known to never work but to delegate, yet Osinbajo became a toothless collaborator.

“A Vice President is worse than a spare tyre. It is the spare tyre left at home.

“Also, I have found it interesting how some have been seeing El-Rufai as an option. That’s how GEJ canonized Buhari.”
