Daniel, architect of his own misfortune–Ogun PDP chieftain

Abeokuta – Chief Bode Mustapha, a chieftain of the PDP in Ogun, has described former Gov. Gbenga Daniel, who is currently standing trial for alleged financial impropriety, as the architect of  his own misfortune.

Mustapha, a former member of the House of  Representatives,  also  dismissed the  allegations from Daniel’s camp that  former President  Olusegun  Obasanjo was behind the trial.

A statement issued by the PDP chieftain in Abeokuta said in part:

“We have it on reliable authority that the embattled former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, alleges that his travails  in the hands of  law enforcement agency is the handiwork of  Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

“This childish allegation leaves one to wonder whether a nation that desires transformation will not uphold accountability and due process. ’’

Mustapha  also stressed that  the PDP  would not bend its  rules to ensure the return of those who defected to other parties.

He further  said that the state chapter of the party would not condone any form of anti-party activity  from any member irrespective of  status. (NAN)
