Daniel: As an elder, I am not bothered by political attacks

Former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Gbenga Daniel, has declared that he was not bothered by series of attacks against him by loyalists of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Daniel, representing Ogun East in the Senate, said what is uppermost in his political plans is how to lift his constituents out of poverty.
“All the attacks and allegations don’t bother me, rather the welfare of my constituents remains my topmost priority”, he declared on Monday night during a virtual interactive session with members of League of Yoruba Media Practitioners (LYMP).
Daniel, Governor of the Gateway State between 2003 and 2011, had recently revealed the reason for the frosty relationship between him and Abiodun.
To him, the series of attacks from some elements in Ogun APC don’t bother him.
He said: “I am an elder, I have to absorb so much, and I am already accommodating the allegations against me. Whatever they said, let us agree it is so, but what is more important is how we can lift our people out of poverty, how they can be free from hunger and pains. I am praying that which I have been sent to the Senate to do, we shall do very well, and the good Lord will strengthen me to do more than the people’s expectations.
“I want to assure our people that I am not after anything, God has been benevolent upon me right from my childhood. I am not after anything more than how we can leave the stage better than we met it.
“When I was the governor of Ogun State, we did our best, we tried our effort, the people after us also did their best, and so also the current governor (Prince Dapo Abiodun) is doing all he could, in four years, he will leave the stage for another person, that is how it is, whatever we do will be spoken when we quit the stage”.
He said his choice of support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for President is the main cause of the friction between him and Abiodun.
