The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended former governor and current senator, Gbenga Daniel, along with one of his loyalists, Kunle Folarin, for alleged anti-party misconduct.
The suspension was announced in a statement on Tuesday by the state chapter’s Director of Publicity, Nuberu Olufemi.
The decision was made at a State Working Committee meeting presided over by the state chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi.
The action was based on the review of reports from disciplinary committees in the members’ wards.

The statement read in part, “Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government set up a disciplinary committee on the alleged misconduct bordering on anti-party activities committed by Senator Gbenga Daniel.”
Similarly, a committee was set up for Kunle Folarin on “allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities.”
The party stated that both men “failed to respond to the invitations extended to them in writing, failed to provide a written defence, and failed to attend the disciplinary meetings at which they were to be given the opportunity to defend themselves.”
The committees also found that they had been harassing party members and pressuring them to withdraw the petitions against them.4 The party said the committees resolved “to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process and to eliminate interference by the members under investigation.”
The statement concluded that “The suspensions were based on the members’ failure to cooperate with the investigation and their attempts to pressure party members to withdraw petitions against them. The SWC has ratified the suspensions.”
