Barely twenty four hours after a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun state, suspended the senator representing Ogun East senatorial district at the National Assembly, Senator Buruji Kashamu and six others, Engr Bayo Dayo, who claims to be the authentic chairman of the party, yesterday expelled the former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and others.

Addressing a press conference at the party secretariat in Abeokuta, Dayo said Daniel and those expelled with him were political prostitutes who have been jumping from one party to the other and are responsible for the acrimony in Ogun PDP for selfish reasons since their return to the party in the run up to the 2015 election.

According to him, others expelled included a serving member of the House of Representatives representing Remo Federal Constituency, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, an erstwhile member of Ogun state House of Assembly, Tolu Bankole and the factional chairman of the party in the state, Sikirulahi Ogundele.
Dayo, who described his purported suspension as “highly unacceptable, ridiculous, prepostrous and an affront on constituted authority of the party in Ogun state”, submitted that Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who coordinated the campaign of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the South West was part of the reasons for the loss of the party.

Flanked by the zonal secretary of PDP, Chief Pegba Otemolu, deputy state chairman, Alhaji Boye Adesina and the state woman leader, Mrs. Remi Adesoji, Engr. Dayo said Ogundele and his members lacked the locus to suspend anyone because they have no authority or legal basis to act adding that Section 57, sub-section 7 of PDP constitution does not grant a state executive committee the power to discipline any member of NEC which he and Kashamu and are members.
