The Ogun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has restated that the suspension of the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Otunba Olugbenga Daniel, remains in full effect, warning that any engagements with him as a member of the party are invalid.
The party made this known in an official correspondence to the APC National Chairman, drawing attention to what it described as Daniel’s “continued public disregard for party discipline” despite his suspension.
The letter, dated October 3, 2025, was jointly signed by the State Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi; and State Secretary, Hon. Tella Aderibigbe.
According to the APC, Senator Daniel was suspended on August 19, 2025, a decision which was formally communicated to him. The party emphasized that, under the APC Constitution, a suspended member automatically loses all privileges and rights associated with party membership.
Quoting Article 21, subsection (vii) of the APC Constitution, the party stressed that a suspended member is stripped of voting rights, attendance at party meetings, and participation in party activities until the suspension is lifted.
“As part of the disciplinary processes outlined in our constitution, a member suspended pending investigation is expressly barred from participating in the proceedings of any party organ,” the statement noted.
The party urged government institutions, political actors, and the public to take note that Daniel cannot act or be recognized in any capacity as a member of APC while the suspension stands.
“Any and all dealings with Otunba Olugbenga Daniel in the capacity of a bona fide member of the APC are invalid, unrecognized, and of no effect to the Party,” the statement added.
The party reaffirmed its commitment to internal discipline, order, and adherence to constitutional guidelines.
