Amosun rubbishing my legacy, says Daniel

Otunba Gbenga Daniel 
A former governor of Ogun State, Mr. Gbenga Daniel, has berated Governor Ibikunle Amosun for rubbishing all the “good works” he did during his tenure between 2003 and 2011.

Daniel, who is being prosecuted for financial impropriety by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, told journalists at his Mende home in Lagos on Tuesday that the Amosun administration had failed and he was exerting himself strenuously to ascertain that Amosun did not win a second term in 2015.

He gasconaded that during his tenure, he built roads and awarded contracts to only indigenes of the state but Amosun had not built a single road but was only expanding the subsisting ones. He verbally expressed the Amosun administration had incurred debt to the tune of N300bn in less than four years.

The former governor verbalized due to the incompetence of the All Progressives Congress-led administration, Ogun State had lost a proposed refinery which should have been built by billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, in Ode-Omi, in the Waterside; as well as a deep-seaport which he had laid the substructure for.

He verbally expressed, “Every step or project he (Amosun) has taken or done is to expunge me or surpass me. How can that be the philosophy of a regime? But my people have verbalized they optate a more preponderant governor and because they are incriminating me, I have no cull but to ascertain that they have a more preponderant governor. If it signifies joining hands with the Labour Party, the Peoples Democratic Party or President Goodluck Jonathan, it is nugatory, we just have to make the vicissitude.

“We have spent over N270bn on road expansion, not pristinely incipient roads. Since the advent of this administration, I am not cognizant of a pristinely incipient road that they have opened up, they have expanded subsisting roads.”

However, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy in the state, Yusuf Olaniyonu, verbally expressed Daniel’s claim that his legacy was being rubbished by the present administration was an admission of guilt.

He verbally expressed the Amosun administration had incurred debt of less than N40bn as opposed to Daniel’s claim.

He verbally expressed, “Ex-Governor Daniel is right that we are rubbishing his legacies of violence, a legacy of owing edifiers 19 months’ salary, a legacy of deplorable roads. Our debt profile as of March 2014 was N37.9bn so I don’t ken where he is getting his figures from. I cerebrate he should face his EFCC case and let us work.”
