Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel has been named Deputy Zonal Co-ordinator I for the South West on the Contact and Mobilisation Directorate of the PBAT/APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inaugurates in Abuja tomorrow, October 15.

Few directorates matter more to the campaign. Its job is to meet voters face to face, help them collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and get them to the polling unit on election day. It is led nationally by the Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, a choice that shows how seriously the party takes the assignment.

The South West team is led by Niyi Adebayo as Zonal Co-ordinator. Otunba Senator Daniel and Segun Oni serve as Deputy Zonal Co-ordinators I and II respectively, while former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is Zonal Secretary. Each member of the team has something to prove, and each arrives well prepared and well recommended.

For Otunba Senator Daniel, the brief is plain. He is to educate, enlighten and mobilise people of every skill level, with particular attention to ordinary citizens of voting age who belong to no political party. He is to reach them in their own communities across every senatorial district in the South West, aiming for at least one million votes per district, so that President Tinubu can secure a second term on January 16, 2027.

He carries a wealth of political and governance experience into the task. He was Governor of Ogun State from May 29, 2003, to May 29, 2011. In 2019 he served as Director-General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council, which gave him first-hand knowledge of how a national campaign is built and run. In 2020 he stood as a candidate for National Chairman of the PDP, an experience that exposed him to party administration at the highest level. Today he is a serving Senator, representing Ogun East Senatorial District and chairing the Senate Committee on Navy.

His record outside government is just as prominent. Through the Gateway Front Foundation (GFF), a non-governmental organisation, he has delivered humanitarian support to people across the South West continuously since 2001. The Foundation is currently running a free medical outreach expected to serve more than 15,000 people, including free major and minor surgeries. He also founded the BATOGD Movement, which is already on the ground with empowerment programmes designed to help ordinary people earn a living.

Supporters say this blend of executive office, legislative experience, campaign management and two decades of community service makes the appointment a natural fit. They add that when he addresses a community, the people remember what he has done for them.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
