Former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo was on Wednesday formally received into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State following her recent defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
She was also given the Party’s senatorial ticket for Ogun Central ahead of the 2027 general election.
Senator Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, represented Ogun Central in the Senate between 2007 and 2011.
She lost her re-election bid in 2011 and left the country to pursue a career in academia in the United States of America.
In January this year, Senator Obasanjo returned to active politics after 15 years and joined the ruling APC, where she declared her ambition to run for governor.
On May 31, she resigned her APC membership after losing the governorship ticket and rejoined her former party, the PDP.
