Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, an All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Ogun State, has revealed she met with President Bola Tinubu. The meeting took place recently, though the exact date was not disclosed. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Obasanjo-Bello said she commended Tinubu for his dedication to democratic governance and national development. She described the President as committed to creating an enabling environment for political engagement across party lines.
Obasanjo-Bello, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, remains firm in her bid for the Ogun State governorship under the APC. Her decision to run has sparked debate, given her previous affiliations with other political parties. She emphasized transparency and inclusivity as core values guiding her campaign. No endorsement or official position from Tinubu regarding her candidacy was announced following the meeting.
Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello meeting Tinubu while pushing her APC governorship bid shows political mobility is still shaped by access to the presidency. Her past party shifts and current alignment with the ruling party raise questions about consistency in political messaging. For voters in Ogun, this underscores how personal connections may influence candidate viability more than party loyalty.
