Senator Gbenga Daniel has stated he will defer to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding his bid to return to the Senate.
Speaking on national television, Daniel, who represents Ogun East, acknowledged his ongoing friction with Governor Dapo Abiodun over the party ticket but insisted he would not oppose the President’s wishes.
Daniel criticised recent “endorsements” of Abiodun as the consensus candidate, describing them as coerced. “There was no consensus. Consensus means all parties agree.
“What we see are endorsements by government agents,” Daniel said.
While he called for a free and fair primary, he affirmed: “If the President asks me to step down for Abiodun, I will. He is the leader of the party.”
