Iyabo

A former senator representing Ogun Central, Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, has ruled out a return to the Senate. She also declared that her political focus is now on a possible bid for the Ogun State governorship.

Obasanjo, daughter of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, made this known on Saturday during an interview on 103.7FM Eagle7 Sports, where she also confirmed her return to active partisan politics and recent membership of the All Progressives Congress.

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.
