A former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, said he decided to dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress because of the intractable problem in the state chapter of the PDP.
He said that the Southwest zone was being being overtaken by crisis even as he declared that the bational outlook was not any better.
Daniel had on Tuesday joined the APC, with five governors elected on the platform of the party expected to formally welcome him on Wednesday, February 17, 2021..
In a terse note he sent to his supporters, the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2019 elections in which Atiku Abubakar was the candidate said: “Our cause is just, well considered, not for any personal gain or aggrandizement but in the overall interest our our people.
“What we all need to do is to be active and proactive with our responses as there will be no time for briefing.
“We all know what has happened to the intractable problem in the Ogun state PDP over the last decade or more with no end in sight.
“We can see the unfolding crisis in the SW (South West) and the National situation does not look any better.
“The situation in the country also calls for serious engagement across board.
“Not that there won’t be challenges in the other parties but all considered and the benefit of what I know, this is the best thing to do now.
“If the dynamics change at any time we will take it as it comes.
“Regards to all.”
