Facts emerged on Saturday that the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State was one the reasons that made the former Governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, to resign from the pa
rty.
Daniel was the Director General of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation before the former Vice President emerged as the presidential candidate of the PDP in the election conducted a few weeks ago.“This is to inform you of my intention to resign from active and partisan politics with effect from today, the 14th day of March, 2019.
Though he was said to be a staunch supporter of the Ladi Adebutu faction of the party in the state, at a point, he was said to have asked that the two factions be brought to a roundtable discussion on how to resolve the crisis.A source, close to the happenings in the party, who spoke on condition said, “Daniel wanted the crisis to be resolved. He was a supporter of Adebutu. But when Buruji would not let go, he wanted the national leadership of the party to come in and settle it.
In the letter, Daniel gave a brief history of his political journey, recalling that it started when he joined the PDP on Sunday, September 9, 2001 at an event which he described as one of the most ceremonial political rallies in “our recent political history in the South-West.” Daniel explained why he did not support the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Senator Buruji Kashamu, but pitched his tent with the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Dapo Abiodun, in last Saturday’s election.
