Rainbow Coalition Emerges In Ogun Central As Iyabo Obasanjo Moves To Back Obi by InfoGuru118(op): 8:37pm On Oct 23*

A political realignment is taking shape in Ogun Central ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said to be moving towards endorsing Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Sources Told Very Nigerian.

Iyabo Obasanjo, who is seeking the Ogun Central senatorial seat on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is said to be considering an alliance with Obi as political consultations intensify ahead of the elections.

However, the proposed alignment could complicate the political fortunes of Hon. Rotimi George Taylo, the NDC candidate for the Ogun Central senatorial seat.

Under the reported arrangement, Obi’s supporters could be encouraged to vote for Iyabo Obasanjo in the senatorial election in exchange for her support for Obi’s presidential ambition.

Such a deal could create a difficult situation for Taylo, who is seeking the same senatorial seat on the NDC platform.

If Obi’s supporters follow the proposed arrangement, some could back Obasanjo instead of the party’s senatorial candidate.

The development would represent a form of cross-party political cooperation in which support for a presidential candidate is exchanged for backing a candidate from another party in a legislative contest.

The proposed alignment also reflects the growing influence of political coalitions ahead of the 2027 elections, as politicians seek partnerships beyond their respective party structures.

Very Nigerian gathered from reliable sources that an announcement is expected soon.

Similar cross-party arrangements have been associated with the political strategy of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, whose alliances have brought politicians from different parties together around shared electoral interests.

However, it remains unclear whether Iyabo Obasanjo and Obi have reached a formal agreement or whether the reported arrangement has received the backing of their respective political parties.

If announced, proposed alliance could become a significant factor in the Ogun Central senatorial contest, particularly given the possibility of competing political interests between Obasanjo and Taylo.

The development underscores the potential challenges facing political parties when supporters of a popular presidential candidate are encouraged to support a candidate from another party in a separate election.

Iyabo can support who she wants. It's her constitutional right. Even before election we all know who is going to win.

Nigerian politicians have descended into in a new low with this RAINBOW COALITION nonsense.

No ideology, no manifesto, no policy direction, nothing. Just assemble politicians, share money for them and they endorse themselves.

These mofos don't even act like it's the people that will vote. Na wa o. Rainbow Coalition of looters!

How come Peter Obi only got 97k votes (34% of total votes cast) to win his second term election in 2010? As a sitting governor, Obi could only beat Chris Ngige of ACN with 37k votes. Another evidence of Obi’s poor performance as a governor. Mind you, Obi was supported heavily by the Goodluck Jonathan led federal government in that election even though they belonged to different political parties.

First, Iyabo has no choice than support Obi because Obi is her father’s project.

Secondly, if should could think of supporting Obi, doesn’t that mean that Obi is actually popular in her district?

Because no politician would adopt an unpopular candidate in her constituency.

Bad idea. Since the NDC has a candidate for that position, that's who Mr Obi should support.

What does she want again in the senate?
When she was elected on a plater of gold in 2003 there about,she never sit there once. She was in United state through out her tenure expired without contributing nothing to the development of her state but rather collecting her constituency allocation.
Now ,she wants to come back.
Maybe, she forgot something in the senate.
