Aisha Yesufu Slams Jonathan's Supporters: "Soldiers Sentenced to Death for Demanding Better Arms

 Activist Aisha Yesufu has sparked controversy by reminding the public of a sensitive issue involving former President Goodluck Jonathan's administration. She recalled that soldiers were sentenced to death for demanding better weapons under Jonathan's leadership, a revelation that has reignited debates about the former president's handling of security matters.



Yesufu took to social media to express her outrage, stating, "I remember this so clearly! SOLDIERS WERE SENTENCED TO DEATH BECAUSE THEY DEMANDED FOR BETTER WEAPON UNDER JONATHAN!!!! Let that sink in! Today many of you white wash Jonathan!" Her comments are a clear indictment of the former president's administration and its approach to addressing the needs of Nigerian soldiers.

Yesufu emphasized her commitment to speaking truth to power, saying, "I am not waiting until someone is dead before calling the person out. I will say all I need to say while you are in power and do a constant reminder whenever the issues come up while you are alive!" Her stance reflects her unwavering dedication to holding leaders accountable for their actions.

Yesufu's comments are likely to generate reactions from various quarters, with some supporting her stance and others criticizing her for bringing up past controversies. The issue remains a sensitive topic, and opinions on Jonathan's presidency continue to be divided.

The incident referenced by Yesufu dates back to the Boko Haram insurgency, when Nigerian soldiers were fighting against the terrorist group. The demand for better arms and equipment was a critical issue, as soldiers often felt inadequately equipped to face the insurgents.

Yesufu's comments may reignite calls for accountability from leaders, particularly those who have held power in the past. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Jonathan's supporters will respond to these allegations.
