The tenure of former Governor Gbenga Daniel was marked by controversy, polarizing policies, and a deeply divided Ogun State. However, even after leaving office, Daniel continues to be the centre of attention, with a political vendetta seemingly targeting him.

Supporters viewed Daniel as a champion of their values, while critics saw him as a threat to democracy.
The presentation of the “breakdown of the fund released to Local Governments in Ogun for the Execution of Developmental Projects Between Year 2020 to date” by the Chief Economic Adviser, Dapo Okubadejo, along with the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, further blew the wind that clearly uncovered their concealed rump.
