Why Tinubu Will Win In 2023- Gbenga Daniel

Otunba Gbenga Daniel, former Governor of Ogun State has disclosed why he thinks Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, will win the 2023 general elections.

Daniel, who said this during an interactive session at a two-day leadership capacity development programme for Councillors in Ogun East Senatorial District held in Ijebu-Ode, said, with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), only popular candidates would henceforth win elections in the country.

Daniel said “Tinubu had shown his readiness to devolve more powers to the third tier of government during his time as Lagos governor”.

“I look at Asiwaju as somebody who is clear in what he wants to do as far as the economy is concerned. And a number of the decisions he has taken, when you take a deeper look, you will know he knows what he’s doing, “Daniel said.

“So, when it comes to local government administration, if there is anybody who has shown determination to empower local governments, Tinubu ruggedness towers above others.”

Daniel recalled how Tinubu as Lagos State governor fought for local government autonomy and stood his ground in the face of the then Federal Government.

He also harped on Nigeria’s restructuring to enable the country to overcome most of its socio-political and economic challenges.
