‘Always Talking About Food, Not Our Problems’ Aisha Yesufu Attacks Akpabio (Video)

Nigerian political activist Aisha Yesufu has launched a scathing verbal attack on Senate President Godswill Akpabio, branding him the “most irresponsible elected official” in Nigeria who is always talking about food.

In her recent public address, Yesufu accused Akpabio of promoting a culture of irresponsibility of his power to bring the executive to check.

Yesufu condemned Akpabio’s recent comments urging citizens to take advantage of free food during tough times, describing the remarks as emblematic of his lack of empathy and detachment from the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians.

“What in heaven’s name is that? Is that the response to the hardship that people are going through?” she questioned, highlighting the dire situation many families find themselves in as they grapple with basic needs like food and education.

The activist pointed out that while citizens are reaching out for help regarding health issues and school fees, those in power seem oblivious to their pain. Yesufu asserted, “People are sending messages about their struggles, yet those in power appear to be out of touch with their suffering.”

Yesufu also criticized Akpabio for his failure to hold the executive branch accountable for its policies, which many believe have worsened the economic crisis.

“If Akpabio was not an irresponsible Senate president, Tinubu should be called to answer why Nigerians are suffering,” she stated, emphasizing the need for the Senate to fulfill its role as a check on executive power.

Moreover, she expressed discontent over Akpabio’s governance style, suggesting he has diminished the prestige of the National Assembly and neglected his responsibilities as a leader. “He operates with a mentality akin to ‘a house boy’ rather than as a high-ranking official,” Yesufu remarked, reflecting the broader frustrations many Nigerians feel about their leaders.

As the nation continues to face the repercussions of previous administrations’ economic policies, calls for accountability and responsible governance are intensifying. Yesufu concluded her address by insisting that true leadership requires a genuine commitment to addressing the needs of the people rather than offering platitudes in the face of hardship.

The exchange surrounding Akpabio’s leadership underscores a growing demand among citizens for action and accountability from their elected officials, particularly in a time of crisis.
