Former Ogun State Governor and Senator representing Ogun East, Gbenga Daniel, has reacted to reports of his suspension from the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he has yet to receive any formal notification.
Daniel’s media aide, Steve Oliyide, issued a statement on Wednesday clarifying that the senator had not been served any letter regarding allegations of anti-party activities or the suspension announced by the party.
His response came just hours after the Ogun State APC disclosed that Daniel and another party member, Kunle Folarin, had been suspended indefinitely.
According to APC spokesperson Nuberu Olufemi, the suspension was recommended by disciplinary committees set up in Ward 4 and Ward 6 of Sagamu Local Government Area. The committees accused Daniel and Folarin of misconduct and anti-party actions, alleging that both ignored invitations to defend themselves.
In a statement ratifying the decision, Ogun APC chairman Chief Yemi Sanusi said the indefinite suspension was necessary to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process and ensure unhindered investigations.
Sanusi explained that the committees relied on witness accounts and documentary evidence, further alleging that Daniel and Folarin attempted to intimidate members and pressured petitioners to withdraw their complaints.
“The committees resolved to suspend the members indefinitely, pending further investigation and the outcome of the inquiry,” Sanusi said.
The development adds to growing tensions within the Ogun APC as the party faces renewed internal disputes ahead of upcoming political contests.
