Yesufu, who made the call in a post on her Twitter handle, maintained that candidates should not be allowed to fund their campaigns.

“Imagine if one million people donated N1000 every week until the election. That will be N1 billion weekly. It can even be a healthy competition to see which state is donating the most.

“We must put our money where our votes are! We should not expect candidates to fund campaigns.

The renowned activist on June 10, 2022, revealed her support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

Yesufu’s advice can be likened to the discussion on political structure, and which candidate has it in order to win at the polls in Nigeria.

While some maintain that some political parties or candidates lack the structure to compete against other popular parties, funding a candidate of choice can also be seen by some as building a structure. This is as some Nigerians opine that the issue of structure is not given, but can be built.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, she said, “I am not in the right position to give anybody relationship advice. I made a post that people were supposed to learn from or laugh about. But, people are now turned it to mean that I was asking men for money.”

The busty actress also noted that she was not looking for a man she could build and invest in. She said, “What I care mostly about is self-care. Women really need to know how to take care of themselves.

I don’t come from a man’s world; I come from a woman’s world. I like talking to women because I am a woman as well. I don’t understand how I made a ‘happy’ post, and people turned it to a ‘bad’ post.

Since then, I have got a lot of ‘nonsense’ messages, especially from poor men. If you are a poor man, I don’t have any business with you. I am not looking for a man I am going to build. I don’t have the energy for that. I will rather build myself. Whenever I write anything motivational, I am talking about myself.”
