The 50-year-old stated that she has heard rumours claiming she was involved in the alleged scandal, hence she has to clear her name and challenge the rumour mongers.
Yesufu said “Every donation we collected under Obi/Datti Baba-Ahmed campaign were paid directly into the campaign account. And I can categorically state here, no living or dead (person), who gave Aisha Yesufu a single kobo. Not at all.
“Even His Excellency (referring to Obi) that we were doing anything for would not give us anything to collect. He had to pay into his account. “So, for us, we were very strict, we were sceptical, we put ourselves on the line and ensured that every dime that was collected was paid into it the campaign account,” she said.
