Flight engineer challenges Daniel for Ogun senatorial ticket
An opponent to the
senatorial ambition of Ogun State governor, Gbenga Daniel, emerged
yesterday as a flight engineer; Tahib Adetunji Odunowo anounced his
interest to tackle Mr. Daniel for the Ogun East senatorial ticket of
the PDP.
Some supporters of
Mr. Daniel recently purchased a form of intent for him. But Mr.
Odunowo, who belongs to the Omo-Ilu faction of the party, has said he
is prepared to slug it out with the governor.
The candidate, who
made this known at Ijebu-Igbo while addressing party supporters who
were beneficiaries of his {Odunowo} empowerment programme, assured his
supporters of a better life if voted into office.
Accompanied by the
financier to the well attended ceremony and leader of the Omo Ilu
group, Buruji Kashamu, the candidate said he has age and experience on
his side to represent the senatorial district at the National Assembly.
He said the
emergence of Omo-Ilu Foundation is to bail out party members and other
state residents from the slavery inflicted on them by the state
government.
“It is high time to vote Daniel out of power, in view of his dictatorship style of governance,” Mr. Odunowo said.
“I brought myself
out to you today as a member of Peoples Democratic Party{PDP}, which is
affiliated to the Omo-Ilu Foundation, and to tell you of my desire to
contest the senatorial seat from the Ogun East district,” he added.
He expressed optimism that if given the party ticket, he would win the general election.
