Former Ogun State governor, Senator Gbenga Daniel, has acknowledged President Bola Tinubu for his pivotal role in guiding his administration, describing the President as a source of both inspiration and practical governance strategies.
Daniel made the remarks on Wednesday in Abuja during the public launch of four books commemorating his 70th birthday. The event attracted prominent political figures, including former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking at the Yar’Adua Centre, Daniel highlighted Tinubu’s pragmatic approach and intellectual leadership, saying, “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. 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.”
Daniel’s tribute to Tinubu set the tone for the celebration, which also served as a reflection on his decades of public service and the principles that shaped his governance.
