Sleep Time: Ex-governor Daniel At the Labour Party Rally |
Supporters of the Labour
Party gathered in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state for another rally, Sunday, with their
leader, former governor Gbenga Daniel continuing his attacks on Governor
Ibikunle Amosun.
However, it was not only
Daniel’s usual tirades against Amosun that stole the headlines. Mid way in the
campaign, the political leader also succumbed to the demands of nature by
snatching some sleep, at boring moments of the rally, perhaps.
A fully awake Daniel however
was to fire on all cylinders his attacks on Amosun, urging his listeners not to
support Amosun for what he called, Amosun’s abandonment of some economic
projects in the area.
Daniel said “Amosun Must Go”
project being promoted by him and other Governor Amosun’s critics, is a goal
that must be achieved.
The former governor
expressed his ‘disappointment’ over the state of infrastructure in Ogun
East,and ridiculed the flyovers built by the Amosun government.

He also ridiculed Amosun’s
aides from the district, urging them to ‘cover their faces’, in shame.
“We are today here in Ijebu
Ode,the headquarters of Ijebuland and political headquarters of the Ogun East
Senatorial District. I am very unhappy today because the government in Abeokuta
today has destroyed the future of Ijebu people.
“They have come here to
build one and half bridges alone in the last three and half years and nothing
again to show for in the area. Do you know the bad thing they have done for
Ijebu, they have destroyed many good things that would have been a pride and
economic boost for the area…All Ijebu sons and daughters that are serving in
this government should cover their faces that in their life time, this
government has destroyed everything in their domain”, Daniel stated.
He accused the Amosun
government of abandoning some projects initiated by him, attributing the
‘abandonment’ to hatred of the Ijebu people.
“Today, Chevron Nigeria Ltd,
has withdrawn from this zone, British Gas has withdrawn: ask this government
why? Ask why did Dangote Cement also back out from the area? I am very angry
because I know what efforts we made before we brought those people to this
place.
“Before I left government,I
had secured Dangote company to build refinery in the State, we have given them
the land.” He said Dangote requested the state to build a road to the site in
Ode Omi, which his government had estimated at N5billion.
