Former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has joined the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
Gbenga was a
front row member of the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
having led the campaign team of defeated presidential candidate, Abubakar
Atiku.
Daniel is
expected to pick up the membership card of APC before the registration of new
members closes today.
In a
statement, Daniel apologised to his former party for the short notice, stating
that his support for Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, was a pointer.
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.
The statement
read thus; “Dear Friends & Colleagues, pardon my short notice in informing
you of my route to the APC which as you might have suspected started with my
supporting Governor Dapo 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 Wed with about 3
Governors. While planning for the visit Governor Abiodun also decided to visit
me later today with another set of Governors later today. It therefore mean
that I have finally been ‘captured’.
“I thought I
should quickly brief the house before the news go viral. Thanks for your
understanding OTUNBA GBENGA DANIELS.”
