Ogun East APC Raises Alarm Over Alleged Intimidation Ahead of Senatorial Primary

Concerned APC members in Ogun East have petitioned the party’s national chairman and security agencies over reported harassment of Senator Gbenga Daniel’s supporters. The May 13 petition alleges a coordinated effort by state party structures loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun to intimidate voters and bar them from party meetings across the district’s nine local governments. Petitioners warn of planned deployment of thugs at polling points on May 18 to suppress turnout. They urge the Inspector General of Police, DSS and NSCDC to investigate and deploy neutral officers to safeguard the exercise and prevent violence. With Governor Abiodun aiming for the Senate seat held by Daniel, the petition underscores the high stakes for internal democracy in one of Ogun’s most competitive districts. Members call for urgent intervention to preserve fairness and public confidence ahead of the direct primary.
