The Peoples Democratic Party in Sagamu
Local Government Area of Ogun State has suspended former Governor
Gbenga Daniel for alleged romance with the Labour Party in the state.
Twelve other members of the PDP in the
area – Idowu Osho, Gbenga Sadiku, Yetunde Majolagbe, Mabawonju
Shitta, Ayantola Lawal, Raufu Jinad, . Oguntade Adeleke, Gbenga
Buhari, Yinka Sotunde, Gbenga Sokoya, Zainab Lawal and Olu Osho-
were also suspended for the same offence termed “anti-party
activities.”
The Chairman of the PDP in Ogun East
Senatorial District, Chief Doyin Fakoya, announced this in Isara, Remo
North Local Government Area, shortly after a meeting of party members
in the area.
Fakoya stressed that the party in the
former governor’s Ward 12 decided to effect his suspension in order to
restore discipline to the party.
“As of today(Thursday), I am the
Chairman of the PDP in Ogun East Senatorial District. I have got a
copy of the letter that Otunba Daniel has been suspended. He was
suspended by ward 12 Sagamu constituency 2,” he said.
Fakoya, who was flanked by the party’s
chairmen in Sagamu, Ikenne and Remo-North LGAs, said a
disciplinary committee set up to look into the allegations against
Daniel and the 12 others found them guilty.
He said, “Otunba Daniel was the one
that brought the Peoples Party of Nigeria to Ogun State; he is
financing Labour Party at the moment. You cannot be in two parties at
the same time; you cannot be in PPN, PDP and LP at the same time.
“Otunba Daniel is like any other
citizen that jumps into any political party; he was fortunate that
he governed Ogun State for eight years. Is that the reason for him to
be in three political parties at the same time?
“Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the national
chairman of our part, the PDP. said we should put discipline back into
the party and his (Daniel) ward said it has suspended him from the
party. So be it, he is not God, he has been suspended by ward 12
Sagamu constituency 2. I have got the copy of the letter, I have sent a
copy of the letter to the state secretariat of the PDP and I have
sent one to the press.”
Meanwhile, the party has released the report of the eight-man disciplinary committee led by Gbenga Salako.
The report dated June 3, 2013,
contained the suspension of the ex-governor and the 12 others
accused of not attending the party’s meeting at the ward level for a
long period of time.
