Former Governor of Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun East, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, was reportedly denied access to an All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders meeting held on Monday at Adeola Odutola Hall, Ijebu Ode.
The meeting, which was convened as an emergency caucus gathering of APC leaders in Ogun East, had in attendance party stakeholders including deputy governors, current and former local government chairmen, councillors, as well as serving and former state and National Assembly members.
However, tension rose when Senator Daniel arrived at the venue but was allegedly not allowed into the hall.

In a video that has since gone viral, Daniel was seen speaking from his branded campaign bus under the OGD/PBAT Movement, expressing displeasure over the situation.
“We are here for our Ogun East APC caucus meeting, but surprisingly, we have been barred; we are told that we can’t enter,” he said. “But let it be said that whatever they do here today is null and void.”
The development has stirred fresh political reactions within the state chapter of the APC, especially given Daniel’s influence as a former governor and key stakeholder in the region.
As of the time of filing this report, the party leadership had not issued an official statement addressing the incident or the circumstances surrounding his exclusion from the meeting.
