Gbenga Daniel reverses decision, set to lead supporters to APC
Former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel may have agreed to lead his supporters to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), according to multiple reports on a meeting he held in Sagamu.
Daniel in a letter dated March 14 and addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, resigned from the party and also quit “partisan politics.”
But in dramatic twist on Sunday, Daniel addressed his supporters and loyalists at his Asoludero residence in Sagamu on why “he decided to quit partisan politics.”
Hundreds of his supporters roared and rejected Daniel’s position, saying “he must lead them in to APC,” having worked for the victory of the ruling party’s governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun in the March 9 election.
Daniel did not give a categorical response to the demands of his supporters, but in an interview with newsmen, he gave hints about his next political move.
Daniel was the Director General of the Atiku Campaign Organisation in the buildup to the 2019 Presidential election. He was also the governor of Ogun state for eight years.
