In a significant display of loyalty and commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC), former Governor of Ogun State and current Senator representing Ogun East, His Excellency Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has revalidated his membership with the party today January 19th 2026, at his Isote Ward 12 in the Sagamu Local Government Area. This bold move comes despite his recent suspension from the party, amidst reports of anti-party involvement and internal strife within the party, with the leadership of the Ogun State Chapter of the party, APC, having previously announced Senator Daniel’s suspension.
The revalidation ceremony, part of the APC’s ongoing electronic registration initiative, drew a large crowd of party faithful and supporters who came to witness Senator Daniel reaffirm his political allegiance. Addressing the enthusiastic audience, he asserted, “I want to make it very clear that I go nowhere. My loyalty and commitment to the APC and the people of Ogun East remains steadfast.”
Senator Daniel, who has a long history of service to the people of Ogun State, emphasized the importance of unity among party members. He stated, “It is imperative that we remain united, especially as we work together toward the upcoming 2027 elections. Our collective strength will ensure that we rally behind our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he seeks re-election.”
“My contributions will continue to uplift our great people. Together, we can achieve greatness for our constituency and for the APC,” he added, calling on the party members to focus on collaborative efforts to bolster their collective aspirations.
Senator Daniel’s revalidation act has been perceived as a strategic move, demonstrating not only his loyalty to the APC, but also his determination to remain an influential voice within the party’s ranks, even amidst turbulence. His public reassurance of support for President Tinubu’s administration reflects a critical alignment with the national leadership, reinforcing his position in the party structure.
As the countdown to the 2027 elections begins, Senator Daniel’s initiative signifies a call to action for party loyalists and constituents alike. His message resounded with themes of perseverance and unity, aiming to galvanize support not only for himself but also for the broader objectives of the APC.
According to sources, Senator Daniel, who served as Ogun State Governor from 2003 to 2011, remains undeterred by the suspension, emphasizing his commitment to the party and its ideals. The Senator’s actions have sparked intense reactions within the party, with some loyalists expressing support for his decision, while others have distanced themselves.
The Ogun State APC’s leadership has yet to comment on the situation, leaving many wondering about the implications of Senator Daniel’s revalidation for the party’s internal dynamics and the senator’s political future.
The revalidation event concluded with a renewed sense of purpose among attendees, as they reiterated their commitment to support both Senator Daniel and President Tinubu in the ever-approaching electoral battleground.
