Former Ogun State Governor and Senator representing Ogun East, Senator Gbenga Daniel, has officially withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primaries ahead of today’s exercise.
The decision, announced on Sunday, follows growing political developments within the party and is widely seen as a move that clears the way for Governor Dapo Abiodun’s preferred direction in the Ogun East contest.
Supporters of the former governor under the BATOGD Movement also confirmed their withdrawal from the primaries, signaling a major shift in the political landscape of Ogun APC.
In recent months, both political figures had exchanged strong words over governance issues and constituency projects, further fueling tensions within the party.
Daniel’s withdrawal now reshapes the Ogun East senatorial race as party members prepare for the APC primaries today.
