Ex-Gov Daniel Moves To Another Political Zone To Achieve Senatorial Ambition
ruled Ogun state for a two-term of 8years
Former Governor of Ogun State Gbenga Daniel has shifted his political base as part of efforts to actualize his senatorial ambition.
SocietyNow.Ng gathered that Daniel, 65, has opted to vie for the Ogun East senatorial position as an aspirant from Omu – Ijebu.
Daniel, a successful engineer with interests in the hospitality sector ruled Ogun state for a two-term of 8years (29 May 2003 – May 2011) based on claims of being from Remo (Makun, Ishagamu).
Emerging indications revealed he has switched to being from Ijebu (Omu-Ijebu) for his senatorial ambition.
SocietyNow.Ng’s checks revealed that the former Governor’s profile indicates his father, Most Rev. Adebola Daniel is from Remo (Makun, Ishagamu) while his mother, Madam Olaitan Daniel is from Ijebu ( Omu-Ijebu).
Ijebu and Remo make up Ogun East senatorial district that the husband of Olufunke wants to represent as the Senator.
SocietyNow.Ng gathered that Daniel shifting his political base from Remo to Ijebu for his senatorial ambition is not unconnected with the re-election bid of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
“Top political positions in Ogun East are shared between Ijebu and Remo and Abiodun is Governor on the bill of Remo. Naturally, Daniel shifting his political base to Ijebu removes the conflict of coming from the same zones in their ambitions” SocietyNow.Ng further gathered.
