Governor Dapo Abiodun has now turned to administrative warfare, orchestrating the suspension of his former ally and current nemesis from the All Progressives Congress (APC) as their battle for control of Ogun East’s senatorial seat intensifies ahead of 2027.
The demolition gambit, which targeted both Daniel’s residence and commercial property, represented a brazen use of state power that ultimately backfired when the former governor’s political network successfully mobilised to halt the bulldozers. Within days, Abiodun pivoted to party machinery, demonstrating his determination to eliminate his rival through any available means.
Monday’s suspension announcement, delivered through APC publicity director Nuberu Olufemi, swept up both Daniel and lawmaker Kunle Folarin on charges of “anti-party activities” and “misconduct.” The party alleged the duo harassed members into withdrawing a petition unfavourable to them and ignored disciplinary summons.
