Iyabo Obasanjo has announced her resignation from the apc, alleging persistent disrespect, rejection, and unfair treatment by the party's leadership in Ogun State.
In her remarks, Iyabo Obasanjo expressed dissatisfaction with her experience within the party, claiming that she had been repeatedly sidelined and denied the level of inclusion and recognition she expected as a member.
According to her, the decision to leave the ruling party followed prolonged concerns over her relationship with the party structure in Ogun State and what she described as a pattern of unfavourable treatment by key stakeholders.
Her departure adds to the ongoing political realignments and internal party developments that often precede major electoral cycles in Nigeria. Political observers note that defections by prominent figures can influence local political dynamics and reshape alliances within state and national politics.
Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has remained a notable figure in Nigeria's political landscape, particularly in Ogun State.
The APC leadership in Ogun State has yet to publicly respond in detail to the allegations. However, the development is expected to generate further discussion among party members and political stakeholders as attention gradually shifts toward future political activities and electoral preparations.
Analysts say the resignation highlights the continuing challenges of internal party cohesion and member relations within Nigeria's political parties, where issues of inclusion, representation, and leadership often shape political decisions and affiliations.
