Former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, has
expressed confidence that President Goodluck
Jonathan will emerge victorious in Saturday’s
presidential election.
Daniel, who spoke on African Independent Television
programme, Kaakaki said he was sure President
Jonathan would win convincingly.
According to him, “There’s no doubting the fact that it
would be a keenly fought election but President
Jonathan remains the best hand we have right now.
“In him, we have the best performing President in all
ramifications of governance – economy, education,
transport, health, social welfare, etc.
“We can put all the factors on the table and decipher. In
all, Jonathan has an overwhelming chance of winning,”
he explained.
On the President’s chances in the Southwest, Daniel
stated that the victory of the President in the zone was
a foregone conclusion.
He said Jonathan ha ignited the hope of true federalism
by the success of the National Conference.
“The success of the conference has gingered the
Afenifere, the authentic voice of the Yoruba race and
other geo-political zones, to declare their support for
the continuity of his administration in order to execute
its recommendations to the letters.
“Don’t forget that the Yoruba race is very sophisticated
and their political awareness is great. They know what
is good for them. A good example is the last election
where President Jonathan won in the Southwest save
for Osun State, which he lost by a narrow margin.
“Right now, there are two states under the control of
the PDP in the Southwest and the cry for change is
very loud in Ogun and Lagos states.
“This is to buttress the point that the people have
realised that Jonathan’s ticket is the only one that can
respond adequately to the request of the people of the
Southwest for true federalism.
“There’s no fear within the ruling the PDP about the
election. Empirically, we have won because of the fact
that the President’s sterling performance is glaring to
even the opposition,” Daniel added.
