Gbenga Daniel Tells Why Next General Election Is Very Important

Former Governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel has provided reasons why the next general election in Nigeria is very important.

The former Governor who seeks to become a Senator made the revelation on Tuesday, March 22, 2022.

The former chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) last year – 2021 asserted

“It isn’t possible to sell an item and still dictate to the buyer how to use it. Once the vote is purchased, you can’t ask how they use what you have sold,” he said.

“Nigerians have to realise that the only way to see a developed Nigeria is to ensure that they vote with their brain and not their stomach, because a night with hunger is better than four years of pain and struggle, I believe.

“The next election gives an opportunity for us to rewrite the destiny of this country. So, the decision we make next year will be with us for another eight years; that is long enough to make the country better or worse.”

The former Governor who spoke at the yearly lecture organized by Freedom Online newspaper further stated “The only way we can leave the trenches is by putting into power individuals who are realists, not just PowerPoint presentations and well-written manifestos that end up in the dustbin of history,”

“We need leadership that has an automatic balance with talking and showing work.

“Anybody can rant and make promises, but we have to be intentional to ensure that we let those who know how to bring to life these visions.”
