Gbenga Daniel, the former Ogun State Governor and current Senator for Ogun East, has responded to his suspension by the Ogun State All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated that he has yet to receive any official notification regarding the matter.
On Wednesday, the senator’s media aide, Steve Oliyide, said Daniel had not been served a letter about the alleged anti-party activities that led to his reported suspension.
Persecondnews reported that earlier that day, the Ogun APC had announced the indefinite suspension of both Daniel and another member, Kunle Folarin.
According to the party’s spokesman, Nuberu Olufemi, the decision was based on recommendations from disciplinary committees in Ward 4 and Ward 6 of the Sagamu Local Government Area.
The committees accused Daniel and Folarin of anti-party activities and misconduct.
They reportedly invited both men to defend themselves, but neither appeared at the hearings.
In a statement ratifying the suspension, Ogun APC Chairman Chief Yemi Sanusi said the indefinite suspension was put in place to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process and ensure a smooth investigation.
Sanusi explained that the committees based their findings on witness testimonies and documentary evidence, further alleging that Daniel and Folarin attempted to intimidate party members and pressure them to withdraw their petitions.
“The committees resolved to suspend the members indefinitely, pending further investigation and the outcome of the inquiry,” Sanusi said.
