ADC full of ‘older generation men’ – Aisha Yesufu urges Youths and Women to Join

Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has said that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, adopted by opposition figures on Wednesday, is full of the old generation.

Aisha, a staunch supporter of former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, called on ADC to ensure that youths and women are included in the policymaking of the party.

In a post on her X handle, she wrote:
“Dear Coalition (ADC), women leader and youth leader positions cannot be what is reserved for women and youth.

“You see this table full of older generation men, cannot be the only ones allowed to make the decision as we go on! Women and youth must be in the midst of decision-making and not as afterthought in the form of tokenism.

“Dear women and youth, this is the time for the numbers. You have to be heard loud and clear. JOIN!

“Be part of the leadership! Be part of the delegates. Be part of floor members. Overwhelm for good! Bring in ideas from out of the box.”

All executives of ADC on Wednesday stepped down for the coalition of opposition figures, as former Senate President, David Mark, emerged interim chairman.
