APC’s Yayi and Iyabo Obasanjo Clash Over Campaign Expense Refund

During a visit to his Ilaro office, APC senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) accused former senator Iyabo Obasanjo of demanding reimbursement for her campaign expenses in dollars and naira. He called the request insulting and argued it showed she was in politics for personal gain rather than service. Obasanjo, who left the APC in June and joined the PDP, denied ever seeking a refund. In a recent interview, she said she withdrew from the governorship contest after Yayi’s consensus endorsement and congratulated him. She recalled that her supporters asked for a Senate ticket, campaign expense reimbursement, and formal recognition, but insisted she never personally requested money. She added that Yayi promised to respond within a week but never did. The exchange highlights growing tensions within Ogun State politics as the 2027 governorship race approaches.
