Obidient Queens in Two Parties: What Aisha Yesufu and Ireti Kingibe Reveal About Peter Obi’s Leadership

Aisha Yesufu and Ireti Kingibe are both celebrated Peter Obi loyalists.

This drama in Abuja raises questions about how he will hold together governors, senators, and regional blocs with competing interests.
