The All Progressives Congress (APC) has publicly responded to Iyabo Obasanjo's recent claims regarding her departure, affirming that she was given equitable treatment during her time in the party. Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, announced her resignation, citing grievances about her experience within the party. The APC emphasized that all aspirants received the same opportunities, countering her narrative of unfair treatment.
In a statement, APC spokesperson Dele Alake remarked, "We respect her decision to leave and maintain that every member is entitled to their perspective. However, we stand by the principles of fairness and transparency that guide our processes." This response highlights the party's commitment to internal equity, even as it grapples with dissent from notable figures.
Looking ahead, the APC faces the challenge of maintaining unity among its ranks, especially with the upcoming elections on the horizon. As experienced members like Obasanjo exit, the party must navigate these departures carefully to reinforce its stability and appeal to a broader electorate. The ongoing discourse will likely shape its strategies in addressing internal grievances while preparing for the political battles ahead.
