‘I feel so irritated, we wasted our time’ – Aisha Yesufu reacts to Peter Obi’s interview

A chieftain of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Aisha Yesufu, has said she was irritated by the recent question-and-answer session between Channels TV host Seun Akinbaloye and the party’s 2027 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

DAILY POST reports that Obi on Sunday granted an interview on Channels TV, where he spoke on issues affecting the nation and his presidential ambition.

Several clips from the interview have been circulating on social media, generating mixed reactions.

Reacting, Aisha Yesufu said no new questions were thrown at the former governor of Anambra State, stressing that there was nothing Obi said in the interview that had not been previously said.

According to the socio-political activist, those who watched the interview wasted their time, wondering why interviewers continue to ask similar questions.

In a video on X, Aisha said, “So Mr Peter Obi did an interview yesterday with Seun. I absolutely feel irritated by the whole thing.

“Usually when Peter Obi grants an interview, there is this excitement about what he is going to say.

“For this particular one, and maybe going forward, it is the feeling of irritation because what are we doing here? It is the same conversation every time. There is nothing he said that has not been talked about.

“I would have picked one or two things from the interview so we could talk about them, but I have been going through it and I have not seen any new questions or questions that we don’t already know the answers to. We wasted our time.

“Again and again, more pressure is being put on Peter Obi for him to be the one coming to talk to the people, but the former Lagos State governor, who rigged himself into the presidency, is not in front of the camera. He is not being judged. Can you ask questions about what we have not heard?”
