The immediate past Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has re-emphasised the fact that he remains in the Peoples Democratic Party along with his teeming supporters contrary to reports in some media.
In a statement on FRiday, Daniel debunked the reports of his defection to another political party as “mere speculation with no iota of truth. I remain in the PDP and nothing has changed”.
He then implored his supporters to remain calm, steadfast and work assiduously for the success of all PDP candidates as presented by the National Working Committee of the party at the forthcoming polls.
It will be recalled that Daniel had granted interviews several weeks ago electing to opt out of the senatorial race, making his intentions known not to contest for any political post in this dispensation.
Although the leadership of the party, through the NWC, had decided that he should run for Ogun East Senatorial District seat, Daniel has yet to concede to the directive or change his mind in spite of pressures on him to run.
According to the former governor, he, along with others, are right now busy perfecting strategies to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan has an impressive showing in Ogun State and the entire South West geopolitical zone in this year’s presidential election.
