Gbenga Daniel, former Ogun governor dumps PDP, joins APC

Former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Daniel is expected to pick up the APC’s membership card on Tuesday in Sagamu, he said in a statement to friends obtained by Peoples Gazette.

The decision was in time for Mr. Daniel’s eligibility to pick up the party’s membership before ongoing registration exercise expires later today.

He will be receiving party chairman and Yobe Governor Mai Mala Buni and about three other APC governors as part of the political move, which would leave the PDP without a visible leader in the Gateway State.

Mr. Daniel was the campaign manager for Atiku Abubakar during the 2019 presidential election, helping the former vice president to a drawn primary victory.
