Gbenga Daniel Resigns From PDP, Quits Partisan Politics

Former governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel, has quit artisan
politics and has also resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).

Daniel, who was the campaign coordinator of Atiku Abubakar,
presidential candidate of the PDP, announced this in a letter sent o the
PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.

I joined the PDP in Ogun State on Sunday, the 9th of September, 2001
at an event which was described as one of the most ceremonial political
rallies in our recent political history in the South Western part of
Nigeria.

We rose from that rally to create a highly robust and effective
political campaign machinery which resulted in an electoral victory for
the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State in 2003; this movement and
vibration affected the politics of the region positively with a victory
in five states of the south-west.

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.

Notwithstanding these widely acclaimed achievements however, our
party, the Peoples Democratic Party ran into trouble waters towards the
end of our administration (about the year 2009) which led to the sad
loss in the election of 2011, and regrettably ten (10) years after the
party has been unable to resolve those internal disputes and challenges.

Let me also add, that in the last few months, I have had one of the
rare privileges of traveling round the entire length and breadth of our
great country on at least two occasions; the first being during my
campaigns to become the National Chairman of our great party, and later
as the Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization
(APCO).

I must sincerely admit that in the course of all these travels, I
have built a network of contacts, of friends and associates in a
mutually rewarding relationships which I cherished most and greatly too.
I am therefore persuaded that I have fewer points to make and prove in
my Political journeys in partisan politics.

My decision to quit partisan politics notwithstanding, I have decided
to rejuvenate my charity based organization, the Gateway Front
Foundation (GFF) which will literally continue to dispense succor 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,” he said.

Without doubt, I will miss the company of my friends and associates
and all those relationships I built in the course of the years all over
the country.”
