Former Senator representing Ogun Central and daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing alleged disrespect, rejection, and maltreatment by the ruling party’s leadership in the State.
Prof. Obasanjo, who recently contested for the APC governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 elections, announced her resignation in a letter dated May 31 and addressed to the Ogun State Chairman of the party, Chief Yemi Sanusi.
A copy of the resignation letter was made available to journalists on Monday.
