National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has disclosed that he and presidential candidate Peter Obi offered activist Aisha Yesufu a House of Representatives ticket, but she turned it down.

Speaking at a party stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja, Dickson claimed Yesufu said she was “too big” for the position. The comments come amid recent internal wranglings within the party and after Yesufu criticised Dickson’s leadership approach.

Key Points:

The claim may further strain relations between Yesufu and the NDC leadership.
Yesufu’s rejection of a House of Reps ticket could be seen as prioritising her Senate ambition or principles over a lower office.
Dickson’s public disclosure appears aimed at countering Yesufu’s recent criticism of the party.
Internal party disputes are becoming increasingly public, potentially weakening the NDC’s image.
The incident highlights tensions between party leaders and high-profile members.

Yesufu has not yet responded to Dickson’s claim; the NDC leadership must manage internal conflicts to present a united front ahead of 2027.
