The former governor is at loggerheads with the incumbent Governor Dapo Abiodun. Daniel was present at the meeting where Senator Solomon Adeola was picked as the APC’s consensus candidate for the Ogun governorship election.
However, in a viral video, Daniel is seen addressing party supporters from his white campaign bus, branded with the OGD/PBAT Movement, saying he had been denied access to the APC stakeholders meeting.
Daniel said, “We are here for our Ogun East APC caucus meeting, but surprisingly, we have been barred; we are told that we can’t enter, but let it be said that whatever they do here today is null and void.”
The invitation letter for the emergency stakeholders meeting sent out by the leadership of the party in Ijebu Ode included deputy governors, past and serving local government chairmen, councillors, past and serving members of both the state and National Assemblies, among others, as expected to attend.
