 Burt Reynolds told Sandy Duncan he 'wanted to kill' her at height of 'Barney' fame, she says Sandy Duncan, whose career spans seven decades with Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe nominations, is still remembered by many for her brief role in Barney & the Backyard Gang.  In 1988, during a Hollywood writers’ strike, Duncan accepted the part of “Mom” in the direct‑to‑video children’s series about a purple dinosaur.  Though she had already built a reputation in family entertainment with Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and voice work for Scooby‑Doo and The Fox and the Hound, she admitted later that she was surprised by the project’s simplicity and returned to her regular work after filming three episodes. The success of the videos led to PBS picking up Barney & Friends, and producers asked Duncan to reprise her role.  She recalled being pitched on the franchise’s future, including plush toys and merchandising, but declined the offer a decision she later regretted.  Despite...

THE DAUGHTER OF FORMER PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO, PROF. IYABO OBASANJO HAS DECLARED HER INTENTION TO RUN FOR THE 2027 GOVERNORSHIP RACE OF OGUN STATE UNDER THE RULING ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC).(PHOTO).

 The daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo has declared her intention to run for the 2027 Governorship race of Ogun State under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


Iyabo returned to active politics after about 15 years hiatus and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections in Ogun State.


Iyabo who represented Ogun Central Senatorial District between 2007 and 2011, participated in the ongoing APC e-registration exercise at Ibogun, Ward 11, in Ifo LGA, Ogun State, effectively sealing her membership of the ruling party.


Recall that she had earlier lost her re-election bid in 2011 to Senator Gbenga Obadara of the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), then subsequently returned to the United States to pursue her academic career, rising to the rank of a professor.


Speaking during the interview, the former senator confirmed that she is returning to politics after "pressure" from her supporters.


"Like I told you, a group of people who I did not bring together, I did not form them into a group, have been working, I think, for two years now. And then they started talking to me about a year ago, saying, 'Look, we think you are the best candidate. We want you back'", she said.


Noting that she could not return to the PDP, where she last contested for election, due to "all kinds of turmoil" in the party, Iyabo also hinted that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was another option for her, but noted that the coalition party does not have its "ducks in a row yet; they’re still working on it".


She explained that all those who reached out to her and were instrumental to her return to active politics are now in the APC.


"I think APC is my natural home. I don’t have any animosity towards any individual or any group within the APC. I feel comfortable with all the actors I know within the APC.


"I feel more comfortable, actually, than with some of the actors I know in the PDP, and some of them are now in the ADC. So I think it’s my natural home. I feel quite confident and happy to have made that decision.


"I have an absolute 100% feeling it’s my natural home", she said.


When asked about her ambition upon returning to active politics, Iyabo ruled out going back to the Senate, stating that she is running for the state’s governorship seat.
