Iyabo Obasanjo Withdraws from Ogun 2027 Governorship Race

Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has officially withdrawn from the Ogun State 2027 governorship race. This decision was announced following a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in Abeokuta, where the party leadership decided to support Solomon Adeola, a current senator representing Ogun West, as their consensus candidate for the upcoming elections.

In her public statement issued on Monday night, Iyabo Obasanjo expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support she received during her campaign and congratulated Adeola, wishing him success in his candidacy. She emphasized the importance of unity within the party and her commitment to supporting the APC's efforts moving forward.

This withdrawal marks a significant development within the Ogun APC, clearing the path for Adeola ahead of the party's primaries in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
