Ogun 2027: Don’t be an opportunist – Iyabo Obasanjo tells Yayi

AI Summary

Iyabo Obasanjo, former senator and daughter of former President Olusegun Obabanjo, told Ogun West Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) to stay within the political system he originated from rather than seeking the governorship as an outsider. Speaking on a live radio discussion about challenges facing women in politics, she expressed concern that a candidate who has previously politicked in another state may not be the best choice for Ogun West, which has not yet produced a governor. Obasanjo also announced her own intention to contest the Ogun State governorship in 2027 and pledged to support the emergence of a governor from Ogun West after her own tenure. The remarks highlight intra‑state dynamics ahead of the 2027 elections.
