Prof Iyabo Obasanjo has declared her intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Ogun State under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former commissioner made her ambition known during an interview on Eagle7 Sports Radio, Abeokuta, where she said her return to active politics was driven by growing calls from supporters.
She dismissed speculation about a possible return to the Senate or a commissioner role, stressing that her political focus is now firmly on the governorship.
According to her, the decision followed sustained encouragement from associates who had been mobilising support for her return for years.
She explained that a group of backers had worked behind the scenes for about two years before formally approaching her roughly a year ago to seek her participation in the race.
Obasanjo said she has accepted the challenge and is committed to the journey ahead, describing the bid as a serious and dedicated undertaking.
