Usman who was one of the co-founders of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, was appointed NPA chief in 2016. Her appointment generated a lot of controversies as many saw her nomination as not only ethnically based, but a as a form of compensation for being a card carrying member of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC. Her qualification for the very sensitive role was equally questioned.
