In what will become the final step that will seal a change of government in Ogun State is the celebrated return of Otunba Gbenga Daniel into the Peoples Democratic Party PDP.
Metronews can exclusively reveal that the former Ogun Governor will on Wednesday be officially welcome to the party at the Aso Rock Villa with the top officials of the party in attendance.
Come Sunday 8th of Oct, a massive Unity Rally will be staged in Abeokuta where Otunba Gbenga Daniel and thousands of his loyalists and supporters will come together to celebrate his return to PDP.
Otunba Gbenga Daniel ruled Ogun State for 8years as PDP Governor,but the party failed to instal a new Governor due to internal wrangling which led to the mass exit of Otunba Gbenga Daniel's supporters to Peoples Party of Nigeria PPN when the party structure was hijacked by some people who were then loyal to former Head of State,Olusegun Obasanjo.
The OGD team took a bold step this year as it finally decided to pitch its tent with Labour Party while still pledging loyalty to the Government of President Goodluck Jonathan,the group activated the dead Labour Party in the State to become the most vibrant and crowd pulling party, the State Secretariat opening witnessed the largest turnout of a political gathering in Ogun State in recent times.
The return of Otunba Gbenga Daniel is inevitable considering his role during the last Election that returned President Goodluck Jonathan which he played the role of the South West Cordinator of President Goodluck Jonathan's campaign organiation. Metronews gathered that Presidency is hoping to use him as its strategic machine towards capturing South -West again for the party.
All things being equal,it is obvious that the return of Otunba Gbenga Daniel to PDP will spell doom for the return aspiration of the current Governor Ibikunle Amosun who has been faced with a lot of challenges including failed electoral promises to massive looting of the state treasury via suspicious road and inflated bridges which set other facets of the state back. The unresolved and final exit of the icon of APC in the state Aremo Olusegun Osoba are signals that Amosun's stay as the Governor of Ogun State is limited.
