GOVERNOR Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State, yesterday, ridiculed Tuesday\u2019s campaign rally of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in the state, saying the party was in the state to sell lies to the electorate.<\/p>\n

Daniel who described the Governorship candidate of the ACN in the state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, as an inconsistent candidate,\u00a0 also accused Lagos State Government of running an expensive government.<\/p>\n

He took a swipe at the governorship candidate of the former President Olusegun Obasanjo faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Gen. Adetunji Olurin, saying, \u201cOlurin is still coming back to me because they are fighting the battle they have lost already.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor who was in company of his Deputy, Alhaja Salmot Badru, the factional Chairman\u00a0 of the PDP in Ogun State, Elder Joju Fadairo, made the declaration at his Thank You Tour in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Daniel explained that while Ogun State Road Maintenance Agency, OGROMA, spent N20milion on a kilometre of roads in the state, the Lagos government spent about N250milion on the same project.<\/p>\n

Describing Tuesday\u2019s rally of ACN as a wasted effort, the governor argued\u00a0 that the party leadership failed to state in concrete terms what they would offer the state.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cIt is time to remind some of these people that we know the kind of government they are running: government for the media. All the people they brought to this place yesterday were from Lagos but we will wait for them till the election proper maybe they will come and vote from Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder no circumstances can we compare what is going on in Lagos with what is going on in Ogun State. Yes we agree that they plant flower but I am informed that they collected N3.5bln World Bank loan to plant flower in Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor that, I salute them. But if we have that much in Ogun State, we will not plant flowers. There is another thing we can do with that money. I never wanted to talk to them but they initiated this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was also informed that they spent N500 million to fix Christmas trees in Lagos. Fashola my junior is somebody I have a lot of respect for but I don\u2019t want to join issues with him but his boss, Bola Tinubu,\u201d Daniel said.<\/p>\n

The governor added that he was optimistic that the factional governorship candidate of the PDP in the state, Gen Olatunji Olurin would still return to his group after he might have lost out at the court.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cwhat baffles me is that all the People the ACN were carrying about were rejected from our party. Amosun was a Senator for four years but could not do anything for Abeokuta where he came from.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge Osoba to a debate to choose any of the sectors he preferred and any period out of my eight year tenure and tell us what he did in that area that supersede mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI monitored their rally in the media but to my surprise they could not state in concrete terms what they will do for Ogun State.\u201d<\/p>\n
