Prof Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has announced her intention to contest the 2027 Ogun State governorship election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

She made the declaration during an interview with Nigerian football legend Segun Odegbami on 103.7FM Eagle7 Sports on Saturday.

The former Commissioner clarified that she has no plans to return to the Senate, stressing that her focus is solely on the governorship.

She said, “So moving ahead, I’m not going to be Commissioner. Like I said, I’m not even going back to the same party because I think that’s old and I don’t see the use of it. And I’m not going to go back to the Senate.

“Like the American would say, there’s no need. And this is what I told my associates when this all started. I said the only thing I’ll come back to do is the governorship.

“And we have started that journey. We are going to see it through. And so that’s the journey I’m on. And we are very serious about it. I mean we are very dedicated to it.”
