Ogun crisis: I can’t be intimated by your antics, Daniel tells lawmakers

Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has said that in spite of various lies being peddled about the State by some lawmakers, he would resist every attempt to slow down his administration’s programme.

He equally described the alleged plot by the lawmakers to remove him from office as a mere media propaganda, saying that the proper method for them was to go to the Assembly and commence the impeachment procedure.

According to the governor, "If they want to remove the Governor, is it on the pages of newspapers? Let them go to the House and do it. They propose it but it is not possible because they are not God".

Otunba Daniel, according to a statement by his Press Officer, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, addressed a mammoth crowd at a village square meeting held at Odugbe village during his Community Demand Review tour of Ado-Odo Ota Local Government during which he affirmed that a lot of lies were being peddled in the media about the State by the lawmakers, and "we would resist any attempt to slow down the progress of work in the state".

Otunba Daniel said in spite of various antics to distract his government; work had been in progress, adding that meaningful developments continued to abound in the state.

Said the Governor: "We are moving on and we shall continue to progress. By this time yesterday, we laid the foundation of an Industrial park with over 40 Chinese investors on ground to grow our economy, On Monday, our State will play host to President Umaru Yar’Adua, who will commission our new secretariat complex which will be the first of its kind in the South-West of this country while this morning, we have inaugurated several projects."
