Some 21 Pro-Democracy Organizations have petitioned the Senate, over what it described as plots, by a former Governor of Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial district in the Senate, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, to Destabilize Ogun State, and his continued attacks on the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, which the group said, is now creating Tension in Ogun State.
Speaking on behalf the groups after submitting the petition, earlier today in Abuja, Comrade Johnson Oluwatobi, said the groups, wish to bring to the attention of the Nigerian Senate and the general public the worrisome actions and statements being made by Senator Gbenga Daniel, which have now contributed to the creation of tension and division within Ogun State.
“Over recent months, Senator Gbenga Daniel has engaged in a series of public attacks on Governor Dapo Abiodun, resorting to inflammatory rhetoric and actions that are detrimental to the peace and progress of Ogun State. These actions have created an environment of unnecessary tension and conflict within the state.”
“As advocates for peace, unity, and responsible governance, we firmly believe that political disagreements should be addressed through lawful and democratic means, rather than through the incitement of discord and public acrimony. The people of Ogun State deserve leaders who prioritize their welfare and development over personal or political rivalries.”
“In light of these concerns, we hereby petition the Nigerian Senate to call Senator Gbenga Daniel to order, over a his actions and statements, which have undermined the peace and stability of Ogun State. We call on the Senate to assess whether his conduct is consistent with the standards of ethical behavior expected of a member of the Senate.”
The groups also urge all political stakeholders in Ogun State to prioritize the well-being of the people and engage in constructive dialogue and cooperation for the betterment of the state. Ogun State deserves leaders who work together for its progress and prosperity.
“We hope that the Nigerian Senate will act swiftly and decisively to address this matter and ensure that our democracy is strengthened through the promotion of responsible and respectful political discourse.”
