Nigeria yet to see the best of Tinubu — Gbenga Daniel

Former Ogun State governor, Gbenga Daniel, has said Nigeria is yet to witness the best of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, crediting him with shaping key aspects of his administration while in office.

Daniel made the remark on Wednesday in Abuja during the public presentation of four books to mark his 70th birthday.

The event attracted prominent political figures, including former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.

Speaking at the ceremony held at the Yar’Adua Centre, Daniel described Tinubu as a major source of inspiration, praising his pragmatic leadership style and intellectual depth.

“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains one of the most pragmatic human beings that I have ever come across. Nigeria is yet to see the best of him. Mr President is a textbook in governance and creative intelligence that many of us read from,” he said.

Reflecting on his time as governor, Daniel acknowledged Tinubu’s influence on his administration, noting that several governance ideas were adopted from the President’s approach.

“I owe the modest success of our administration as the Governor of Ogun State to his insight and creative geniuses; there are quite a lot of his governance initiatives that we copied from while I was Governor,” he added

Tinubu, who was represented at the event by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, described Daniel as a longtime ally and friend, commending his contributions to governance and national development.

“I salute Otunba Daniel for his professional exploits, governance strides and political achievements. He accomplished the feats by dint of hard work, tenacity, wisdom and courage,” Tinubu said.

The President also highlighted Daniel’s achievements in engineering, business and politics, referencing his role in founding Kresta Laurel, which he said has become a leader in elevator installation and maintenance in Nigeria.

He added that Daniel carried the same vision into public office after becoming governor in 2003, focusing on industrialisation, infrastructure, education and public-private partnerships.

“Part of his legacy as governor included the initiation of the first agro-allied cargo airport in the state and the establishment of Tai Solarin University of Education,” Tinubu said.

Beyond the tributes, Daniel used the occasion to address national issues such as misinformation, corruption and declining ethical values in public service

“One of the critical issues that has arrested and held down Nigerian society is the lack of credible information. Political decisions are frequently taken from warped viewpoints,” he said.

On corruption, he called for structural solutions, suggesting a possible moratorium or amnesty to encourage the repatriation of illicit funds passing through the banking system.

Daniel also advocated a return to ethical leadership rooted in the Omoluabi ethos, emphasising integrity, accountability and moral uprightness as vital for national progress.

Addressing security concerns, he backed ongoing conversations on state policing, urging safeguards to prevent abuse and proposing the establishment of State Police Councils to ensure accountability.
