Former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has explained that she resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after becoming dissatisfied with the party’s governorship candidate in Ogun State.

Speaking on the Morayo Show, Iyabo said her decision was prompted by what she described as the candidate’s failure to honour commitments made to her and her supporters.

“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 a day after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State officially welcomed her into its fold following her departure 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 resigned from the ruling party on May 31, 2026, after failing to secure the governorship ticket. At the time, she cited disrespect, betrayal and unfair treatment by the party’s leadership as reasons for her exit.

Her latest remarks provide further insight into the circumstances that led to her departure from the APC and subsequent move to the PDP.
