Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Campaign Director General of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has decamped from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daniel, a former Governor of Ogun State was a front row member of the PDP, having led the campaign team that saw the defeat of its presidential candidate Abubakar in the 2019 elections.
In a statement, Daniel apologised to his former party for the short notice, stating that his support for Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, was one of the reasons for his move.
He explained that the decision took a speedy curve with the request of the National Caretaker Chairman of APC to visit him along with three governors.
His statement reads, “Dear Friends and Colleagues, pardon my short notice in informing you of my route to the APC which as you might have suspected started with my supporting Gov. Abiodun during the last election.”
“I have since experienced an avalanche of encouragement to come on board.”
“However in the last 48 hours things took a dizzying speed with the decision of the APC National Chairmans request to visit me at Asoludero on Wednesday with about three governors.
“While planning for the visit Gov. Abiodun also decided to visit me later today with another set of governors, It therefore, mean that I have finally been captured,” Daniel said.
