ABEOKUTA — Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun
State, yesterday, said he was part of those that
aided his predecessor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel to
claim indigeneship of Ogun State in 2003.

According to Amosun, Daniel was an indigene
of Isoko in Delta State, but, requested for
assistance from him and some other unnamed
persons to get a family house in Sagamu ahead
of his 2003 governorship ambition in the state.
Amosun spoke yesterday, at Odeda Local
Government in continuation of his local
government tour which began on Tuesday.

The governor was reacting to allegations levelled
against his administration by Daniel when the
latter was at Odeda penultimate week.
Daniel had accused Amosun of selling off all the
farmlands in the area to other states, claiming
Amosun’s administration had short-changed the
people of Odeda.

According to Amosun, “when they came into
power, the farmlands were over 60, when we
came in, it remains only five. Our forefathers will
never forgive them and the generations coming
will also curse them. They thought we were like
them, we are not.

“We are not bastards from Isoko. They came to
us then, we are the one they ran to and we
helped them to get where they are claiming today
as their home. Although, it was not time for
political campaign, yet, I will not hesitate to
respond to Daniel’s allegations which he levelled
against my administration here in the same Odeda
Local Government.

“He is envious of our achievements and
successes recorded within the past few years. We
need to let them know that we are not thieves
like them. They will not be able to stand and
campaign for vote here in Odeda by the time I
start exposing them.

They are treasure looters. If
not for the type of the country we are, they ought
to have covered their heads in shame rather than
boast around the town.”
In a swift reaction, former governor, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel described the statement credited
to Amosun on his nativity status as diversionary.
Daniel in a statement by his media aide, Ayo
Giwa said: “It is now glaring that the clock is fast
ticking towards electoral defeat hence his attempt
to stand history on its head by reverting to the
same scenario that played itself out some 12
years ago.

The statement that Otunba Gbenga
Daniel is not from Sagamu is an insult on the
entire good people of the historical town of
Sagamu as well as a taboo and effrontery on the
traditional institutions in the land especially the
thrones of the Akarigbo of Remoland as well as
the Ewusi of Makun in Remo Kingdom.

“Precisely on Saturday 23 February, 2002, Otunba
Gbenga Daniel was made the Aare Asoludero of
Makun Sagamu with traditional rites performed by
the Late Ewusi, Oba Efuwape Ogunsowo,
Inanuwa II.

To all intents and purposes, Oba
Ogunsowo declared that Otunba Daniel was a
freeborn of Makun in Sagamu and of the
Ojelobaye family origin. Prominent among those
who were present on that occasion was the
former Governor of Lagos State and the leader of
the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“Has he quickly forgotten that Otunba Daniel also
holds the traditional title of the Arole of Remoland
as well as many across the state? If he has
respect and honour for traditional authorities and
customs how dare he challenge such authorities?

That Otunba Daniel sold all the state’s patrimony
is in itself cheap blackmail. Is concession not
different from outright sale? What has happened
to the companies since he came to power some
three and a half years ago and why did he not
attempt to revive them if they are viable? The
outburst from the incumbent is belated and
immature.”

nigerianvenom: so according to Amosun,isoko people are bastard and he assisted a "bastard" to become a governor of ogun state.
is an accomplice to a thief not a thief?
so is tinubu who hails from osun state not also a bastarrd?just asking

OrlandoOwoh:
Do you understand English. Bastard here is used to refer to a person not from Ogun State.

ModusOperandi: LMAO

If Amosun actually helped Gbenga Daniel claim false indigeneship of Ogun state, then he should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a crime

elopee3000: That's why orji Uzo kalu said lagos is a no man's land ,if tinubu from osun state can rule Lagos gbenga Daniel from isoko can rule ogun state aregboshola fulani man can rule osun state mimiko from kogi can rule ondo state then igbo man must rule Lagos ,besides gambari is emir of ilorin [color=#000099][/color]

WilyWily: But dis is not a secret, many Yorubas don't know who is their real father.

shymexx: WilyWily/Nchara

I had to edit it, after thinking about it deeply. I think it's not just a Yoruba women thing, it's more of Nigerian women thing - and I think there was a stat out on nairaland last year that a lot of the first kids by naija women are not the biological kids of their dads.

Based on experience: I think a lot of Edo women for example have high libido, and having multiple sexual partners is more or less a norm for them. And I have smashed a couple of Igbo chics who were engaged to other men. May God help Nigerian women.

nigerianvenom:
could that be the reason many people claimed they were abiola and fela kids after their dead?
is that also why tinubu cant recognised most of his children?
i'm confused here willywily

WilyWily:
Shymexx, I'm not Nchara
But the behaviours of Yoruba women shown that it is a Yoruba culture,

shymexx:

Nchara, I think it's a Nigerian culture. If it were Yoruba culture - I honestly don't think I'll keep bumping into Edo and Igbo chics selling puss.y in Amsterdam and Paris , every time I visit those places. Even in the UK, there are some Edo and Igbo women working for escort agencies.

A lot of Naija women just love fvcking around - and that's the truth. They're all the same. Not making excuses for Yoruba women. And didn't someone create a thread earlier this year about an Ijebu queen who died on the bed while fvcking some next Igbo guy in Anambra? - birds of a feather.
