In a heartfelt message to Senator Daniel, the elder statesman expressed satisfaction at the former governor’s performance as a politician, his demonstrable and documented selfless supports for the interest of the Yoruba tribe right from the days of Pa Obafemi Awolowo’s Unity Party of Nigeria in 1978 and the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO.
“Olugbenga Justus Daniel, my dearest son, in whom I am well pleased.
“As 8 years executive governor of Ogun State, you did not disappoint me. Now, as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, please make me proud. My son, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, is the President and Commander in Chief of the Nigeria Armed forces.
“I put all my children at the National Assembly in your care, please look after them and work hand in hand with the President for the glory of Nigeria and that of Yoruba land.
