... Appoints Alabi Jamiu as New DG, Amosun's Man, Osifade as Deputy
In a bid to strengthen his campaign structure towards the 2027 race , Senator Gbenga Daniel, representing the Ogun East at the upper legislative chamber in Abuja is said to be considering a reorganisation.
Sources revealed that he might have carried out a first phase reshuffle of his campaign structure, easing out the erstwhile DG, a former ALGON Chairman and Chairman of Remo North local government, John Obafemi as well as the former Commissioner Youth and Sports, Fatai Sowemimo.
In their place, Senator Daniel it was gathered has appointed former Sagamu Youth Association, Jamiu Alabi Olododo to serve as Director General of the 2027 Senatorial campaign, while he also appointed a former aide of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Dele Osifade as Deputy.
Those who are close to the OGD campaign structure revealed that the Senator who was trying to inject youthful energies into his campaigns has decided to gradually disengage older members of his campaign structure so that they younger men can drive him towards the 2027 Senate.
Otunba Daniel unveiled his new DG when he held a meeting with members of his political team a few months ago, and he has also been introducing him to all members of the structure while touring the Senatorial District.
Some informed sources revealed that "Jamiu Alabi, who founded the OGD Political Movement upon which the senator eventually built his political structure is the best candidate to lead OGD campaign, but he was shortchanged during the last campaign, and returning him to provide leadership is like putting the right peg in the right hole".
A member of the OGD Media who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak in that capacity however debunks the claim, claiming no such changes has taken place. According to him "That must be mischievous, because the OGD structure remains strong. We don't know where you are getting your stories from. Of course there could be some ambitious individuals trying to hijack the process, but no such thing actually took place nor is being contemplated".
He said further that "The Gateway Movement was and still is the OGD Campaign Structure and this was an extension of his Gateway Front Foundation that he started more than 20 years ago. This OGD Political Movement is strange to us and whoever told you about that should be bold enough to show his face in public".
