BREAKING: Like Omisore, Otunba Gbenga Daniel Quits PDP For APC—Like Iyiola Misore, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the former Governor of Ogun State,  has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Daniel was the campaign manager for the PDP Presidential candidate in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.

Also, a top source closed to the former governor had told The Guardian that Daniel is expected to pick up the membership card of APC before the registration of new members closed today.

He is also expected to to meet with the chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the APC and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni on Wednesday.

Expected to be part of the meeting are governors Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State.
