APC Ward Insists: Gbenga Daniel’s Suspension Is Final And Unshakable.
According to Nivo News, the Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State, has declared that the suspension of Senator Gbenga Daniel, representing Ogun East, remains firmly in place. The ward leaders reaffirmed their stance in a statement jointly issued by Chairman Adebayo Ismail and Secretary Durojaiye Oluwole on Wednesday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The ward executives faulted a press statement released by the APC National Secretariat on November 17, arguing that the National Working Committee (NWC) does not possess the constitutional authority to overturn disciplinary actions initiated by subordinate party structures. They insisted that the APC Constitution clearly limits the NWC’s power in such matters.
The ward maintained that the suspension followed allegations of anti-party conduct levelled against Daniel, adding that the matter was duly forwarded to the State Executive Committee as required by party procedure. It was also revealed that the senator failed to honour repeated invitations to defend himself before the ward’s leadership.
The statement stressed that all actions taken were in strict adherence to the APC Constitution, dismissing claims by the APC National Secretary, Senator Surajudeen Bashiru, that disciplinary measures must originate from higher party organs. The ward argued that the Constitution explicitly empowers any relevant executive committee—whether at the ward, local government, state, zonal, or national level—to initiate disciplinary proceedings, depending on the nature of the allegations.
They further explained that although Article 21(5)(vii) grants the NWC the power to suspend members, this provision does not invalidate the authority of other executive councils to discipline party members. The ward added that the Constitution does not subject their decisions to NWC review but only to the appeal process outlined in Article 21.4.
The ward described the NWC directive to nullify Daniel’s suspension as unconstitutional and without basis. While acknowledging that Daniel has not been expelled, they emphasized that his suspension remains unchallenged and continues to strip him temporarily of his rights and privileges within the party.
According to the ward executives, the senator’s suspension stems from alleged acts of defiance during the last general elections, including conduct deemed harmful to the party’s interests and attempts to obstruct proceedings at the Election Petitions Tribunal. They asserted that these allegations remain uncontested.
Reaffirming their position, the Ward 4 leadership stated that Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s suspension stands and remains fully effective.

According to sports analysts, Nigeria’s recent World Cup qualifying campaign ended in disappointment after a 4-3 penalty defeat to DR Congo in the African play-offs. The match had ended 1-1 after extra time, denying the country a return to the global stage following its absence from the Qatar 2022 tournament.
Speaking with Footy-Africa, Shorunmu urged the NFF to focus on future challenges and prioritize rebuilding the squad without delay. He emphasized that the federation must act swiftly to develop a strong strategy for the upcoming AFCON.
“What has happened is behind us now, and it is important for Nigerian football to look ahead,” Shorunmu said. “The Africa Cup of Nations is approaching, and proper planning and preparation are essential for the team to perform at its best.”
He noted that time is a critical factor, stressing that fans expect a determined response from the Super Eagles following recent setbacks. Shorunmu believes the players are aware of the nation’s expectations and will strive to redeem themselves at the continental tournament.
