Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, an epidemiologist and daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has announced her resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the country gears up for the 2027 elections. In her resignation letter dated May 31, she cited ongoing disrespect and rejection within the party as her reasons for leaving. Obasanjo criticized the party's consensus process, particularly the nomination of Senator Solomon Adeola, stating that she was not consulted prior to his selection as the party's candidate for the Ogun State governorship race. She expressed disappointment over the treatment she received, which she described as a consistent pattern of disrespect. Despite her resignation, Obasanjo expressed gratitude to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC leaders in Ogun State for their support during her time in the party. Earlier this year, she had rejoined the APC and declared her interest in the governorship race, making her departure notable as it raises questions about the party's internal dynamics ahead of the elections.
