Come Sunday, 10th April 2016, former Ogun State governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel will turn 60. OGD as he is popularly called by political associates will be throwing a big party at the Grand Ball Room of Oriental Hotel, Lekki in Lagos on that Sunday. What has changed about Otunba Gbenga Daniel, he was asked in a recent interview ahead of his 60th birthday. OGD said,"A lot. Age has mellowed me. At 60 I have now joined the Elders Club and I am tired of fighting. I have given up on fighting anybody.The battle is over.I have forgiven all those who offended me. I have also begged all those I have offended.



"Politics is not a do-or-die affair. I have had my own fair share of service to the people. I have been governor of a state for 8 years. My predecessor has come to build on the foundation we laid. We knew what Ogun State was like when we came in and how we left it. I must give thanks to God. A few years ago, we lost so many people at age 40. Aboderin died. We have had quite a number of people who didn’t live up to 60. But these days some make it up to 70 and they are still looking strong. I saw Chief Ayo Adebanjo the other day, waxing strong on TV. This is a man who is close to 90 for God sake. I think we must give thanks to God for His mercies. For me, I was shocked. I didn’t know I was just going to be 60. Just like that, here I am. It is just beginning to occur to me that maybe I am now an elder. I am joining the club of the elders.”
