Supporters of Senator Gbenga Daniel, who is associated with the APC for Ogun East, say they will boycott the party’s senatorial primary scheduled for Monday, May 18. Vanguard reports that the Gbenga Daniel camp advises its members to stay away from the primaries. Premium Times adds that the supporters warn that recent developments within the APC have not met their expectations of internal party democracy, and they say participation could expose them to danger.
While both outlets describe the same decision to boycott, the coverage also reflects differing emphasis: Vanguard focuses on the camp’s distancing from the primary process, while Premium Times highlights the group’s grievances about how the party is handling developments and the supporters’ stated concerns for safety and democratic standards.
The reports do not provide additional details about the specific “developments” or the nature of the alleged danger. They also do not indicate whether the boycott stance will affect the primary’s outcome or whether the APC will address the concerns publicly.
