PDP Fires Back at APC Over Iyabo Obasanjo’s 2027 Senatorial Eligibility

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched a blistering counter-attack against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing it of orchestrating a coordinated campaign of misinformation regarding the 2027 senatorial ambitions of former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo.

The opposition party’s reaction comes on the heels of speculative reports and commentaries circulating across political circles questioning the eligibility and status of the former lawmaker, who recently returned to the PDP and secured the party’s ticket to contest the Ogun Central senatorial seat.

PDP spokespersons and campaign aides dismissed the claims as desperate propaganda engineered by ruling party stakeholders unsettled by the momentum of her return. They stressed that her documentation, party nomination, and legal standing to run for the upper legislative chamber are completely unassailable.

“The electorate deserves facts, not manufactured legal conjectures or political intimidation designed to distract from the failures of the ruling administration,” a campaign representative stated, reaffirming that her focus remains firmly fixed on grassroots mobilization across Ogun Central.

The friction underscores the intense political realignment playing out in Ogun State as parties gear up for what promises to be a fiercely contested electoral battle in 2027.
