Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Yesufu argued that Tinubu is relying on state governors to create an illusion of political power.
She compared the situation to previous elections where governing parties held a majority of state governors yet still lost at the polls.
“Yesufu said: ‘Once upon a time, I think PDP had 20-something governors; it didn’t stop them from losing the election when it was time for them to lose. The fact that they don’t have the people, you could see it when they were doing the registration and nobody was interested. But you can see with the ADC the kind of passion it has gathered,’” she added.

The activist’s comments underscore the significance of grassroots mobilisation and voter engagement, suggesting that party popularity cannot be measured solely by the number of governors or access to state resources.
