The senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Gbenga Daniel, has denied claims that he is planning to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement by the OGD Media Office on Monday, the former Governor of Ogun State declared his continuous loyalty to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that the claims of defection is untrue.
The statement said the purported plan to rejoin PDP is far from the truth, stressing that the Senator remains a member of APC.
The statement reads, “For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Gbenga Daniel is and remains a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, a Senator and remains on the platform of the APC.”
His response comes days after he and Mr. Kunle Folarin were suspended by the Ogun State chapter of the APC over alleged anti-party activities.
The suspension sparked speculation about Daniel’s possible defection from the ruling party.
