In a strong rejoinder, the media office condemned the libelous and malicious articles published by Oguninsight, News Across, Vanguard, PM News, and others on August 24, 2025.

These publications, under various headlines including “EXCLUSIV: Billions, Betrayal, and a By-Election- The Inside Story of Gbenga Daniel’s Suspension from Ogun APC” and “Why APC Suspended Senator Gbenga Daniel”, have unfairly attacked the character and reputation of Senator Daniel.

The statement highlighted the damaging effect such reports could have on Senator Daniel’s well-earned reputation from years of dedicated professional, business, and political service.

The media office demanded an immediate public retraction and apology published in all outlets that carried the defamatory articles, along with removal of the stories from all social and new media platforms within seven days, warning that legal action will be pursued otherwise.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel is and remains a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, elected and remains on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC),” the statement concluded emphatically.
