Senator representing Ogun East senatorial district at the National Assembly, Gbenga Daniel, has asserted that whatever Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, is currently enjoying is his sweat.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that Daniels made this remark while featuring on TVC News Beyond The Headlines with Nifemi.
Reacting to the construction of an airport in Ogun State, Gbenga Daniels said he had begun the process and obtained the licence.
According to the former Governor, the construction of the airport was the easiest task, stressing that the major works had been completed.
He said, “Your Excellency, you are now going to be a former governor very soon, I will say your Excellency remember I came to you and said this young man that is following you everywhere will be the one to destroy your government, I don’t want to mention his name.
“I hope you have seen that all these troubles you didn’t need it, if you have done a few things right. Look at what is happening in Ekiti State, there are certain lines you don’t cross in this business.
“I have served the state meritoriously. If there is anything Dapo Abiodun is enjoying today, it is our sweat. Yes he did the airport but that is the easiest part of the job, to award the contract, but the money was there.
“When we were running up and down doing environmental assessment, jumping from place to place doing the design, acquiring the land, talking to stakeholders with little and no money.
“Everything was done, we got the licence, does he know what I went through to get that licence? Does he know how many Presidents I had to sit with to get the licence?
“He came to say he doesn’t know what to do and I said this is the licence, you pick it and award the contract and you are making money from the contract you award, you are now gallivanting that you have done the airport. How?”
