Senators Are The Ones Giving Tinubu Power To Do Evil – Aisha Yesufu 

Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has criticized members of the Nigerian Senate, accusing them of helping President Bola Tinubu carry out actions she believes are harmful to the country.

Naija News reports that Yesufu shared her views in a post published on her verified 𝕏 account on Friday.

She argued that senators should stop presenting themselves as helpless, insisting that they are part of the system that gives the President the backing to act.

Her reaction followed comments by the senator representing Kebbi South, Garba Maidoki, who recently said he appealed to Nigerians for support because bandits were killing people in his constituency.

Responding to the senator’s remarks, Yesufu said lawmakers should not see themselves as victims of the country’s security and political problems.

According to her, they have the authority and responsibility to influence decisions made at the national level.

She maintained that members of the National Assembly are responsible for approving and supporting government actions, adding that they should be held accountable for the direction the country is taking under the current administration.

She wrote: “Senators should stop infantilizing themselves! They are not victims. They are enablers of whatever evil Tinubu is carrying out in this country.

“They are the ones giving him the power to do all the shenanigans he is currently doing.”
