Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu has pledged to ensure that residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) receive fair returns on their contributions to society.

In a statement shared on her verified X account on Sunday, Yesufu outlined her vision for the FCT, emphasizing her commitment to sponsoring the Abuja Residents Empowerment Bill if elected as a senator in 2027.
