In a significant political shift, former PDP chairmanship aspirant in the 2024 Sagamu Local Government elections, Hon. Adeoye Daniel, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).He cites the misplaced priorities and lack of collaborative leadership within his former party, which, according to him, undermined the effective delivery of quality governance.  

Hon. Daniel has been a dedicated member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) since 2002. His wealth of experience earned him the position of Ogun State Deputy Youth Coordinator for the Jonathan/Sambo 2015 Presidential Campaign Organization. His political expertise continued to open doors as he served as a campaign team member and appointee under Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu during the 2019 and 2023 governorship campaigns. 

A committed public servant, Hon. Adeoye Daniel’s political journey began in 2002 when he volunteered with the Gateway Front Foundation . His dedication was recognized by his father figure, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, which led to his inclusion in his Ogun State PDP Governorship campaign team for the 2003 and 2007 elections. During this time, he toured all the 236 wards of Ogun State, serving as a core team member. 

Hon. Daniel was appointed as a Supervisor for the Ogun State Employment Generation Board (OGEGEB). In this role, he played a pivotal part in training and providing employment opportunities for thousands of Ogun State residents in various trades, including painting, fashion design, carpentry, plumbing, welding, aluminum work, barbing, and culinary arts. 

Hon. Daniel also contributed significantly to Ogun State’s international engagements, serving on the Gateway Games Committee during the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup Finals, hosted in Ogun State. At the local government level, he served as Supervisor for Water Resources/Health and later as Special Adviser on Water/Environmental Resources in Sagamu Local Government, under the administration of Hon. Daisi Akintan. 

Hon. Adeoye Daniel emphasized that a strong opposition is only necessary when a government is failing. However, he acknowledged that the APC-led government has demonstrated significant progress at both the national and state levels. This progress inspired him to align with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, believing that the nation is on the right path to greater development.  

Hon. Daniel, who also previously served as one of the personal aides to Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, made his official declaration to join APC public, during an interview with Genesis Media Hub. He praised the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun for his visionary leadership and remarkable developmental strides in Ogun State.  

“Governor Abiodun is a great and performing leader who has steered the Gateway State forward, bringing rapid development to the state and its people,” Daniel stated. He pointed out that the economic, infrastructural, and social advancements witnessed in Ogun State are clear indicators of APC’s commitment to development and progress.  

Hon. Daniel’s move to APC was not a solo decision—he was accompanied by thousands of supporters and loyalists who share his vision of contributing to a greater Ogun State and Nigeria. He urged all APC members to remain steadfast and committed to the party’s goals, ensuring that the dividends of democracy are delivered across the country.  

Furthermore, he expressed his admiration for the national leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, applauding the administration’s policies aimed at promoting economic stability, national peace, and overall transformation. 

“Under the APC, we are witnessing genuine progress that uplifts the lives of Nigerians. This government has implemented policies that ensure a brighter and more prosperous future for our country," Daniel affirmed.  

With his extensive political experience and commitment to public service, Hon. Adeoye Daniel is determined to contribute meaningfully to the APC's mission of promoting sustainable development, good governance, and the continued progress of Ogun State and Nigeria at large.
