Former Ogun State governor and current lawmaker, Gbenga Daniel, has formally declared his intention to return to the Senate after obtaining his nomination and expression of interest forms under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daniel said his decision to seek re-election to represent Ogun East Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections is driven by a commitment to sustain effective and responsive representation for his constituents.
The lawmaker noted that his legislative agenda would continue to focus on delivering people-oriented policies, strengthening grassroots engagement, and attracting development initiatives to the district.
He also reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, expressing confidence in the party’s platform as a vehicle for advancing the interests of Ogun East and contributing to national development.
Political observers say Daniel’s move signals the early start of preparations for the 2027 elections, with key stakeholders already positioning themselves for contests across various constituencies.
The Ogun East Senatorial District remains a critical political bloc in Ogun State, and Daniel’s re-entry bid is expected to shape the dynamics of the race in the coming months.
