Iyabo

The daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, has joined the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State. It was gathered that the former senator of Ogun Central completed her e-registration on Tuesday at Ibogun, Ward 11, Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

Confirming the development on Wednesday, Biodun Ajayi, former Chairman of Abeokuta South Local Government and a close ally of Prof. Obasanjo, told Vanguard that the registration was successfully concluded.

Ajayi, who currently serves as a Commissioner with the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, said: “I can confirm to you that Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo completed her online registration as a member of our great party, the APC, on Tuesday at Ibogun Ward 11 in Ifo Local Government.”

However, when contacted, the Ogun State Director of Publicity of the APC, Mr. Femi Nuberu, neither confirmed nor denied the development.

Nuberu said the party had taken note of the heightened public interest generated by the ongoing membership registration exercise across the state, stressing that the process was open to all eligible Nigerians.

“We wish to clarify that the APC registration process is free, open and accessible to every Nigerian citizen aged 18 years and above, in line with our party’s constitution,” he said.

“Our primary focus at this time is the successful and inclusive conduct of the nationwide exercise, rather than the individual status of any specific registrant. Vanguard
