Gbenga Daniel resigns from PDP

Former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has quit partisan politics. He has also resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In his letter to the party’s National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Daniel said he decided to leave the scene to “rejuvenate my charity-based organisation, the Gateway Front Foundation (GFF), which will literally continue to dispense succour to our people in need, address and assist in the areas of some of their health challenges.

“I also plan on resuscitation of the non-partisan Political Leadership Academy (POLA), which I established some years ago as a platform of political education to our citizens.

“My decision in this regard is entirely personal and having served in various capacities, including as governor of Ogun State, I have resolved to immerse myself in some other vocations and take on some new challenges.“I served as Governor of Ogun State for eight years and our administration, till today, remains a point of reference in terms of physical, social, economic, educational and human capital development, since the state was created in 1976.”
