Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the senator representing Ogun East, was denied entry to an All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial meeting in Ijebu-Ode. The meeting took place at Adeola Odutola Hall, where Daniel arrived by bus at 10:00am but was blocked from entering. A viral video showed the bus stopped outside the gate, with individuals seen negotiating with those inside for his access. Daniel addressed supporters outside, stating he had been present since 10:00am for the APC caucus meeting but was not permitted to enter. He declared that any decisions made in his absence would be null and void. The meeting was reportedly set to make key decisions on the Ogun East senatorial ticket. Daniel, a former governor of Ogun State, is seeking a second term in the Senate. Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun is also vying for the APC ticket for the same seat. The rivalry between Daniel and Abiodun has fueled tension within the party in the senatorial district. As of the report's filing, Daniel had not been allowed into the venue.
