Ogun State governor, Gbenga Daniel yesterday denied any
agreement with former Lagos state governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to work for the
victory of the Action Congress of Nigeria {ACN} in the upcoming election as a
way to give him {Daniel} soft landing at the expiration of his tenure.

Mr. Daniel, who reacted through his Commissioner for
Information and Orientation, Sina Kawonise said reports that the governor
recently had a meeting with Mr. Tinubu is ‘absolute falsehood’. “The truth is
that both Daniel and Tinubu have not had any meeting together in the last few
years. As such, any claim that Daniel met Tinubu to reach an accord between the
Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to work
together in the forthcoming election is false in its entirety,” Mr. Kawonise
said.

Desperate propaganda

The state official also said the claim of the meeting is a
propaganda by desperate politicians in the state to cause confusion and deceive
people in order to sway their votes He called on voters not to be deceived into
voting for the wrong party. Mr Daniel, although nominally a member of the PDP,
has been campaigning for the PPN, on which platform his candidates are running
for office after they were rejected by the PDP. ‘‘Gbenga Daniel therefore urges
voters in Ogun State, who trooped out last Saturday to vote for PPN and its
candidates, to do so again on Saturday and ensure the continuity of good
governance, progress and a better future for our children,” he said”. the
release emphasized.

Meanwhile, a group of young professionals in the state, Light
To Nigeria Group {LNG}, yesterday called on the national chairman of
Independent National Electoral Commission {INEC}, Attahiru Jega to distance
himself from politicians as the elections draw nearer. ‘‘This is national
assignment, don’t misuse the power, you have to be faithful to the nation and
not to any individual or group,’ the group said. The group also called on the
INEC Chairman to properly monitor his subordinates at the state level so that
they don’t derail the plan for free elections that would usher in credible
leaders.
