Naija News learnt that the former governor of Ogun state, however, started his campaign tour yesterday from the Ijebu northeast local government area of the State, and the 10 wards of the council.

During his campaign tour, Daniel was reported to have said “Nigeria was well endowed with abundant human and material resources, but required good leaders to fulfil the dreams of its founding fathers.”

While on his campaign tour, he appreciated the support from the people and pledged not to disappoint or betray the confidence they had in him to represent Ogun East senatorial district.

Daniel, who appealed for the support of the people also urge them to support the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and other APC candidates in the 2023 election.
