‘I don’t regret it’ – Aisha Yesufu reveals why she voted APC in 2015

Nigerian Democratic Congress chieftain, Aisha Yesufu, has spoken about her decision to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 presidential election during an interview with the Kaa Truth podcast. She revealed that her choice was not due to her support for the party's presidential candidate, former President Muhammadu Buhari, but rather because of his vice presidential candidate, Yemi Osinbajo.

Yesufu explained that she believed Buhari would delegate key responsibilities, particularly the management of the country's economy, to Osinbajo's office. She stated, "I don't regret voting for Buhari. This is the thing, if I'm to regret voting for Buhari, it will be like this disaster we have now, we should allow it because the next person will be worse."

Yesufu emphasized that Jonathan's administration had played a role in making Buhari more acceptable to the public. She affirmed, "If you ask me why, I will say because Buhari is known to delegate his duties. When he was a military head of state, it was Tunde Idiagbon that was in charge. They said Osibanjo was going to be in charge of the economy."
