Ogun State Government has criticized a former governor of the state, Gbenga Daniel over the political developments in the state, particularly the emergence of Governor Dapo Abiodun as the consensus All Progressives Congress, APC senatorial candidate for Ogun East.
Governor Abiodun had emerged two weeks ago after a meeting by some party leaders in the state.
Since then, Senator Daniel has criticized the process that threw up the governor, saying it was not transparent.
Recall that Senator Daniel had accused the party officials of shutting him out of the venue where the governor was picked as the consensus APC candidate for Ogun East in the 2027 election.
Reacting in a statement issued on Wednesday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said Senator Daniel had once emerged through the process that he’s now criticizing.
The governor’s aide urged senator Daniel to stop peddling falsehood about the governor, describing the former governor as a drowning mam, with a declining political relevance and influence in the ruling APC.
“Daniel is simply fighting the same consensus arrangement and party structure that produced him as Senator in 2023. It is shocking that someone who benefited immensely from the collective decision of the party is now demonising the same process simply because it no longer aligns with his personal ambition,” Akinmade stated.
Senator Daniel is criticizing the same consensus arrangement which he rode on to the National Assembly in 2023, adding that the former governor is now demonising the APC and Governor Abiodun because he failed to have his way this time around, Akinmade said.
