<p>After Being A Commissioner</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that Professor Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared her intention to run for the 2027 Governorship race of Ogun State under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.</p>
<p>She declared her intention in an interview with Nigerian legend Segun Odegbami on his 103.7FM Eagle7 Sports on Saturday.</p>
<p>The Former Health Commissioner ruled out going back to the Senate, saying she is running for the state’s governorship seat.</p>
<p>Her words, “<em><strong>So moving ahead, I’m not going to be Commissioner. Like I said, I’m not even going back to the same party because I think that’s old and I don’t see the use of it. And I’m not going to go back to the Senate.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Like the American would say, there’s no need. And this is what I told my associates, when this all started. I said, the only thing I’ll come back to do is the governorship.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“And we have started that journey. We are going to see it through. And so that’s the journey I’m on. And we are very serious about it. I mean we are very dedicated to it,”</strong></em> she said.</p>

<p>Iyabo had confirmed joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), maintaining that she is returning to politics after “<em><strong>pressure”</strong></em> from her supporters.</p>
<p>“<em><strong>Like I told you, a group of people who I did not bring together, have been working, I think, for two years now. And then they started talking to me about a year ago, saying, ‘Look, we think you are the best candidate. We want you back,’”</strong></em> she added</p>
