A former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel has said the chances of victory of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is far above those of other presidential candidates in the 2023 election.

Daniel noted that given Asiwaju Tinubu’s track record, he will improve the nation’s economy and guarantee local government autonomy, if elected in next year’s poll.

He said the former Lagos State governor had shown his readiness to devolve more powers to the third tier of government when he was in power at the Centre of Excellence.

“I look at Asiwaju as somebody who is clear in what he wants to do, as far as the economy is concerned. From 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, Asiwaju Tinubu’s ruggedness towers above others.”

Daniel, who spoke at a two-day leadership capacity development programme for councillors in Ogun East Senatorial District at Ijebu-Ode, with the theme: Understanding Leadership and Legislative Responsibilities at the Grassroots Level, recalled how Asiwaju Tinubu fought for local government autonomy and stood his ground, despite the then Federal Government’s opposition.

The former Ogun State governor also harped on Nigeria’s restructuring to enable the country overcome most of its socio-political and economic challenges.

The APC senatorial candidate for Ogun East advised the party and its members to work hard so to they would achieve success for in the 2023 general election.
