Abiodun & His Men Absent As Senator Gbenga Daniel Stages Lavish Inauguration Party

Otunba Gbenga Daniel recently celebrated his attainment as Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He hosted a lavish inuaguration party at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja.

The event witnessed a heavy attendance but Governor Dapo Abiodun and his men were not in attendance.

Neither did Solomo Adeola (Ogun West) and Shaib Afolabi (Ogun Central), the other Senators elected on the platform of Daniel’s political party, All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state.

Adeola and Shaib are hardcore associates of Governor Abiodun.

Pictures from the event shared by Senator Daniel who is also a former two-term Governor of Ogun state did not feature Abiodun and his men.

The development throws up claims that it appears the pre-election quarrel between Senator Gbenga Daniel and Governor Dapo Abiodun is far from over.

This is in the face of claims that elder statesman, Olusegun Osoba had intervened.

The pre-election fight between Abiodun and Daniel, over the latter’s senatorial ambition, deepened amid claims the Governor nearly suffered a loss in his bid for second term because the Senator backed Ladi Adebutu, the gubernatorial candidate of the rival People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Abiodun won the election by less than 14,000 votes and Adebutu is challenging the win in court.
