Former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo has revealed that her decision to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) was influenced by what she described as the failure of the party’s consensus governorship candidate in Ogun State to honour commitments made to her and her supporters.
Speaking during an appearance on the Morayo Show, the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo said she became disappointed after the promises made during the party’s internal process were not fulfilled.
“I resigned from the APC because I was upset that the consensus candidate failed to keep the promises he made to me and my followers,” she said.
Her comments came after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State formally welcomed her into its fold on Wednesday following her resignation from the APC.
Iyabo returned to active politics in January 2026 after a 15-year break, joining the APC and declaring her intention to contest the Ogun State governorship election.
However, she exited the ruling party on May 31, 2026, after failing to secure its governorship ticket, accusing the party leadership of betrayal, disrespect and unfair treatment.
