Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, a former senator, stated that she became a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) because its members were the only ones who maintained contact with her during her over 15 years away from active politics.

Obasanjo revealed this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Friday.

Since failing to secure re-election to the Senate in 2011, the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo has noted that she is no longer a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

She claims to have attended a leadership program at Harvard University, after which she worked on her PhD.

“I have not been involved with the PDP as an active member or even as a member since 2011. I don’t see it as leaving one group to join another. I had no party.

“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. I don’t think anybody in the current PDP as it is, or the ADC as it’s trying to be, communicated with me or asked, ‘How are you doing?’

“So for me, that was the fundamental reason. Yes, it’s all politics, but politicians are still human beings.

“So it was a decision made from that personal reason, people reached out to me, they were talking to me, not to lobby me, but just to say, ‘We care about you, we like you, we love you as a human being. How are you doing?’” she said.
