Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, the daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has rejoined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). She has been officially announced as the party’s senatorial candidate for the Ogun Central constituency in the 2027 elections. This marks a return to the PDP for Obasanjo-Bello, who previously served as a Senator representing Ogun Central from 2007 to 2011 under the PDP banner. Her defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and subsequent candidacy signal a potentially significant development in Ogun State’s political landscape. The move is likely to draw attention given her father’s prominent role in Nigerian politics and his continued influence within the PDP. Further details regarding her campaign platform are expected to be released in the coming months. The PDP hopes her candidacy will bolster their chances of winning the Ogun Central senatorial seat.
