The Digest:
Senator Gbenga Daniel, representing Ogun East, was barred from attending an APC caucus meeting in Ijebu Ode on Monday. A viral video shows his convoy being denied access to the Adeola Odutola hall. Addressing supporters from a white bus outside, Daniel declared that any decisions made at the meeting would be "null and void." Daniel was suspended by the Ogun APC in August 2025 over alleged anti-party activities, including endorsing a PDP candidate in a by-election.
Key Points:
- Daniel is seeking a second term in the Senate.
- Governor Dapo Abiodun is also vying for the APC ticket for Ogun East.
- The race for the party's ticket has caused tensions between the two politicians.
- Daniel was suspended in August 2025 for alleged anti-party activities.
- He had asked supporters to vote for a PDP candidate in a by-election.
The leadership tussle within Ogun APC intensifies as both Daniel and Abiodun eye the same senate ticket.
