The Ogun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has affirmed that the suspension of Senator Otunba Olugbenga Daniel (Ogun East) is still fully in force.
The chapter warned that any interaction with him as an APC member is invalid.
The party communicated this stance in an official letter to the APC National Chairman, citing Daniel’s “continued public disregard for party discipline” since his suspension on August 19, 2025.
The letter, dated October 3, 2025, was jointly signed by State Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, and State Secretary, Hon. Tella Aderibigbe.
The Ogun APC noted that Daniel had been formally notified of his suspension.
The party emphasized that, under the APC Constitution, a suspended member automatically loses all privileges and rights associated with party membership.
Quoting Article 21, subsection (vii) of the APC Constitution, the party stressed that a suspended member is stripped of voting rights, attendance at party meetings, and participation in party activities until the suspension is lifted.
“As part of the disciplinary processes outlined in our constitution, a member suspended pending investigation is expressly barred from participating in the proceedings of any party organ,” the statement noted.
The party urged government institutions, political actors, and the public to take note that Daniel cannot act or be recognized in any capacity as a member of APC while the suspension stands.
“Any and all dealings with Otunba Olugbenga Daniel in the capacity of a bona fide member of the APC are invalid, unrecognized, and of no effect to the party,” it stated.
The party reaffirmed its commitment to internal discipline, order, and adherence to constitutional guidelines.
