Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and secured the party’s ticket for the Ogun Central Senatorial District. The development marks her return to the opposition party as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of future elections.
Her emergence as the PDP candidate is expected to boost the party’s profile in Ogun State, where it hopes to strengthen its position against rival political groups. Party supporters view the move as a significant step in the build-up to the next electoral cycle.
According to Punch Newspapers, Obasanjo formally returned to the PDP before securing the nomination for the Ogun Central Senate seat, a development that has attracted attention across the state’s political landscape.
