EKO HOT BLOG reports that Iyabo spoke on Wednesday in Abeokuta during the official flag off of the PDP campaign for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections in Ogun State.
The campaign flag off attracted PDP members and supporters across the three Federal Constituencies in the Ogun Central Senatorial District.
Iyabo, who served as senator between 2007 and 2011, said her decision to contest the Senate seat was driven by her desire to restore what she described as the lost glories of the district.
“My desire to take back our senatorial district to where it was when I represented it is the reason why I came back to the PDP, and take up the challenge of restoring our lost glories,” she said.
The former senator, who is the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said her return to the Senate was also aimed at providing effective representation to the people of Ogun Central.
Iyabo had earlier spent a short period in the All Progressives Congress (APC) before returning to the PDP.
