A member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Aisha Yesufu, said on Wednesday that she pleaded with former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to accept the role of running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, four years ago.

Yesufu, who acknowledged that some things take longer than they should, promised not to be distracted in her support for Obi and Kwankwaso.

Posting on X, the activist wrote: “Some things in life take longer than they should. Like the saying goes, better late than never.

“4 years ago I literally begged @KwankwasoRM to be Peter Obi’s running mate.

“Now that it is happening, you think I am going to be distracted? No way. Let’s get it done.”
