Ogun State Government Orders Demolition of Gbenga Daniel’s Residence and Hotel

Here’s a redrafted version of your news story with a sharper, neutral tone and clear structure:

The Ogun State Government, led by Governor Dapo Abiodun, has issued a three-day demolition notice for the Sagamu residence and luxury hotel belonging to former governor and current senator, Gbenga Daniel.

The move, announced on Friday, intensifies the ongoing political rivalry between the two influential politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections. Both men hail from Ogun East Senatorial District, where Mr Abiodun is widely speculated to be eyeing a Senate seat a position currently held by Mr Daniel, who is expected to seek re-election.

Insiders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) told *Peoples Gazette* that the growing rift between the governor and the senator has created divisions within the party. Sources claim Governor Abiodun views Mr Daniel’s removal from the APC as a strategic step toward securing the party’s senatorial ticket.

Once political allies Mr Daniel supported Mr Abiodun’s successful 2019 governorship bid their relationship reportedly broke down shortly after the election. Since then, the governor has been accused by critics of using state institutions to target his predecessor.

Official documents obtained by *The Gazette* show that the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority issued both a Notice of Contravention and a Notice to Quit for Mr Daniel’s Asoludero Court residence on Obafemi Awolowo Avenue, GRA, Sagamu, as well as his nearby Conference Hotel. The notices, numbered 00049514 and 00047714, were served simultaneously by the Sagamu Zonal Planning Office at approximately 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 8.
