Gbenga Daniel to Nigerians: ‘Don’t Take Tinubu For Granted’
Former Governor of Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun East, Gbenga Daniel has advised Nigerians to keep supporting President Tinubu and not ‘take him for granted’.
Daniel gave the plea on Sunday during the 19th annual thanksgiving service themed “Thanking God for total victory, recovery and restoration” held at Baptist International Worship Center, aka Abraham’s Tabernacle, in Sagamu, Ogun State.
According to the ex-governor, some of the policies introduced by the Tinubu-led government have led to hardship in the land but gave an assurance that things will be better as his tenure will turn the country around.
He, however, stated that one thing he knows about Tinubu is that he must not be taken for granted.
He said “I have known Asiwaju (Tinubu) now for probably over 20 years and I know that he is capable, he is able. And I know that one thing you must not do is to take him for granted.
“I know that Asiwaju will turn around the fortune of this country and I am sure it will happen before long. If there are little little challenges, let’s just accept it that this is normally how things like this go. I urge you to continue to support him and his administration.”
He also urged stakeholders and residents to continue to support the state government, saying “Ogun will continue to be great.”
The Bishop of Lagos North Diocese of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Rt Reverend Gboyega Ohu, while delivering his sermon stressed thanksgiving and love for one another in the society.
The clergyman noted Daniel had bounced back politically after being “caged for 8 years,” and “there is nothing but to thank God for his life.”
The service attracted the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, his father and Business mogul, Sir Kessington Adebutu; the immediate past High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sarafa Tunji Ishola; daughter of the late sage, Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu; the Akarigbo and Paramount ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi; the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount ruler of Yewaland, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, among others.
