Iyabo Obasanjo Joins APC in Ogun State Amid Speculation of Political Return
Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State. The registration was confirmed by a former chairman of Abeokuta South Local Government, Biodun Ajayi.
Femi Nuberu, the APC's Director of Publicity, neither denied nor confirmed the registration, emphasizing that membership registration is open to all Nigerians above 18. Iyabo Obasanjo, an associate professor of public health at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, has previously held political offices including Commissioner of Health in Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun Central.
Her recent enrollment in the APC has sparked speculation about her possible return to active politics. Gloria Shoda, a former National President of the National Council of Women Societies, has shown support for Iyabo Obasanjo's political endeavors.
