JUST IN: Gbenga Daniel Joins APC

About 24 hours after he announced his retirement from partisan
politics, the former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel
has agreed to lead his supporters to the All Progressives Congress,
APC.

The former governor lof Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel,
popularly called OGD, in a letter addressed to the National
Chairman of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus but which
was released to the media on Saturday, said his retirement from
politics was personal.

While also blaming the unending crises in the Ogun State chapter
of the party, Daniel said his retirement from active and partisan
politics would afford him the opportunity to focus on this Gateway
Front Foundation and non-partisan political academy.

But on Sunday, while addressing his supporters at his Asoludero
residence in Sagamu on reasons why he was quitting politics, Daniel
agreed to lead his supporters to the ruling APC in the State.

The supporters have roared in rejection of the planned
retirement saying the former governor must lead them to the ruling
party having worked for the victory of the governor-elect in the
State, Dapo Abiodun.

After about two hours of drama, Daniel left the hall without
responding to his supporters’ demands.

When approached by newsmen, Daniel said “my people have
spoken.”

He said, “Basically, they (supporters) said I could resign from
PDP. They said I must lead them to APC. And they also said I cannot
retire from politics that is the summary of what I heard. Now we
have to take a look at it. What else can I say? My people have
spoke
