Former Governor of Ogun State,
Gbenga Daniel, has declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC)
governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun ahead of the March 9 governorship and
state Houses of Assembly elections.
He made the statement on Thursday
at the Remo Resource Centre.
Daniel, a chieftain of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP), said his decision and call on his supporters
to vote for Abiodun on Saturday, followed Ladi Adebutu’s loss at the court on
Wednesday.
Adebutu popularly known as Lado
lost his bid for the PDP ticket to Buruji Kashamu.
Daniel’s statement made available reads: “My Dear compatriots, You have noticed my studied silence
in our local politics in recent times.
“I have busied myself with
National politics having served the state for 8 years.
“I have also been very busy
supporting the ambition of the son of our great Philantropist in Remoland to
become the next governor of our dear state.
“You, however, would have become
aware of the court decision yesterday which did not favour him.
“Going forward, I have directed
all our structures statewide to cast all their votes on Saturday for Prince
Dapo Abiodun, another bona fide Remo son despite current party differences.
“I, therefore, enjoin all to
please go and cast your vote on Saturday for Dapo Abiodun in the overall
interest of our people. With best regards.”
