Former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has lambasted the immediate past governor of the state, Ibikunle Amosun for neglecting the developmental programs he initiated while in office.

“We gave the 20 local government areas in the state autonomy. They executed projects on their own, they received their allocations in full. We didn’t interfere in their affairs. That was the reason why there was massive development at the grassroots during my administration.

“The needless bridges constructed with taxpayers money crippled the economy of Ogun state in no small measure.
“Ogun state Property & Investment Corporation (OPIC) and Ogun state Housing Corporation were allowed to operate freely. They execute people-oriented projects with the money they generated. Ours is to ask for their proposals and approve them once it will bring development to the state. We didn’t ask them to remit the money they generated into the government account.

“My successor tried to rewrite history by killing my legacies. But, we thank God that our achievements are still there for people to see. May we never witness another Amosun in Ogun state again,” he said.
