Popular Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has reacted to allegations that her husband, Aliu Yesufu stole from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

It began when Aisha reacted to Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s statement that he has never stolen government money.

“Stealing money is not the only form of corruption. Nepotism is worse,” Aisha wrote.

A Twitter user subsequently asked about her husband who reportedly stole from the NHIS.

She wrote, “Your husband wey steal for NHIS nko?”

The Twitter user was referring to a claim made by another Twitter user in 2020 that Aisha Yesufu’s husband took 7 cars away with him when he left the NHIS.

Reacting to the allegation, Aisha tweeted: “Make una help me arrest am and jail him! @officialEFCC can’t be so useless that they cannot arrest this my so call ’husband’.”

All Elections Should Be Conducted In A Day

Meanwhile, Aisha has said that it would be better for all major elections to be held on the same day in the country.

Yesufu insisted that an electoral reform should be considered.

Naija News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducts the Presidential and National Assembly elections two weeks before the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections.

However, the activist insisted that it would be better if the election is conducted in one day.

She also noted that ballot papers should carry the pictures and party logo of the candidate.

Speaking further, she opined that Nigerian’s who are in diaspora should also be given a right to vote.

“Further electoral reform is needed,” Aisha tweeted.

She added: “Presidential, gubernatorial, National Assembly and state houses of assembly election should be on the same day.

“Early voting for essential workers.

“Ballot papers should carry pictures of the candidates as well as party logo

“To recall a legislator should be 50% of the votes he or she got and not 50% of registered voters.

“Nigerians in diaspora should be able to vote and having a Nigerian passport should be amongst the criteria. Don’t tell us you are a Nigerian in Niger Republic with no passport.”
