Former Ogun State Governor, Senator Gbenga Daniel, has praised President Bola Tinubu for shaping his administration, calling him a source of inspiration and a guide in practical governance.
Daniel spoke on Wednesday in Abuja during the public launch of four books to mark his 70th birthday, an event that brought together top political figures, including former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.
At the well-attended ceremony at the Yar’Adua Centre, Daniel highlighted Tinubu’s pragmatic leadership and sharp intellect, paying glowing tribute to the President.
He said, “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.”
Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, described Daniel as a “longtime ally and friend,” and praised his role in governance and national development.
