A former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has entered into a mutual agreement to back the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Saturday’s governorship election in the State, Dapo Abiodun, to realise his ambition.
The mutual agreement was reached on Thursday after a meeting between Daniel and Abiodun in the Sagamu, Ogun State residence of the Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation.
Daniel has thus directed the supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State to vote for Abiodun.
A statement by Daniel confirmed the development.
He said in the statement: “You would have noticed my studied silence in our local politics in recent times. I have busied myself with national politics, having served the state for eight years.
“I have also been very busy supporting the ambition of the son of our great philanthropist in Remoland to become the next Governor of our dear state. You, however, would have become aware of the court decision yesterday which did not favour him.
“Going forward, I have directed all our Structures statewide to cast all their votes on Saturday for Prince Dapo Abiodun, another bona fide Remo son despite current party differences. I therefore, enjoin all to please go and cast your vote on Saturday for Dapo Abiodun in the overall interest of our people.”
