2027: Iyabo Obasanjo dumps APC, cites disrespect, maltreatment by party leadership

Former Senator representing Ogun Central and daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, has resigned from the APC, citing disrespect, rejection, and maltreatment by the party's leadership in the state. She faulted the consensus arrangement that produced Senator Solomon Adeola as the APC's governorship candidate, alleging it violated party rules and that her supporters were blocked from the announcement venue. Obasanjo had initially congratulated Adeola and pledged support, but claimed he failed to respond to requests within a promised one-week timeframe.
