Popular activist and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Aisha Yesufu, has accused Channels Television of misrepresenting her words following an interview with the station.

Yesufu, in a post via her 𝕏 account on Monday, stated that at no time did she mention during the interview that the ADC lost the 2026 Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council Election.

Channels had shared her interview on their Youtube page with the title, ‘Why ADC Lost The FCT By-elections – Aisha Yesufu’ however, she disagreed with the title and insisted that what she consistently pointed out during the interview was how the All Progressives Congress (APC) was able to manipulate and rig the election because Abuja residents did not come out enmasse as they usually would during General election.

She also added that, compared to previous FCT Council elections since she came to Abuja, the ADC was able to get more residents interested and to come out in this year’s polls.

The activist, therefore, called on Channels TV to correct the title to represent the interview she did with the channel

She wrote: “Dear Channels Tv @channelstv

“This is a very disingenuous title and not representing the interview I did with your channel. There was never a time I mentioned ADC lost the FCT Area Council election. The point I consistently made was that APC was able to manipulate and rig the election because Abuja residents did not come out enmasse as they usually would during General election. That if the citizens had come out as they do during General election, APC’s manipulation, rigging and vote buying would only have resulted in reducing the margin and not being declared winners.

“I also mentioned that compared to previous FCT Area Council elections (I have voted in all since I became Abuja resident), ADC were able to get more residents interested and coming out even though it was not as high as the turnout during general elections.

“Kindly do the needful and correct the title to represent the interview I did with your channel.”
