“Iyabo Obasanjo is a no, no,” stated Arinze, FNGE, reflecting the sentiments of some residents of Ogun Central who have expressed dissatisfaction with her past tenure. This criticism stems from her time as a senator from 2007 to 2011, during which many communities, including Akute, Lambe, and Agbado, reported poor infrastructure and neglect.

Bamidele Johnson further articulated the concerns, saying, “If you cannot leverage a senatorial seat to deliver even the most basic infrastructural relief to communities that practically choke on neglect, on what evidence should anyone entrust you with an entire state?” This statement underscores the skepticism surrounding her potential return to political office.

After losing her re-election bid in 2011, Iyabo Obasanjo distanced herself from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating, “I have not been involved with the PDP as an active member or even as a member since 2011.” Her departure from the PDP marked a significant shift in her political journey.

Recently, Iyabo Obasanjo has aligned herself with the All Progressives Congress (APC), noting, “The other part of it is that when I was away, the people who reached out to me, the people I was talking to, are all in the APC.” This move indicates her intention to re-enter the political arena after over 15 years away from active politics.

Her tenure in the Senate has been characterized by criticism regarding her effectiveness, with comparisons drawn to other politicians like Femi Gbajabiamila and James Faleke, who are cited as examples of effective representation. Residents have voiced their belief that public office holders must earn promotion through performance, and many feel that supporting Iyabo Obasanjo’s bid for higher office would reinforce non-performance.

As Iyabo Obasanjo navigates this new chapter in her political career, the response from Ogun Central residents remains mixed. While some may welcome her return, others are cautious, recalling the challenges faced during her previous term.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding her specific plans for the upcoming elections, but the discourse surrounding her potential candidacy continues to evolve as the political landscape shifts in Nigeria.
