A ruling party can look invincible on the outside while its kitchen smoulders with quiet fires. In Ogun, the APC struts like a victor, but behind the banners, whispers grow louder about betrayal, suspension, and the strange dance of friends turned rivals.
The state working committee recently ratified the suspension of two insiders: Senator Gbenga Daniel and Hon. Kunle Folarin. Both, accused of anti-party manoeuvres in their Sagamu wards, were invited to defend themselves. Both ignored the summons. The silence was as loud as a confession.
Committees reviewed documents, listened to witnesses, and alleged that the men had tried to intimidate petitioners. Harassment, interference, pressure—words that taste of politics’ oldest recipes. In the end, letters of indefinite suspension were inked, and the ruling party declared its house tidy.
