Ogun Former Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel Advocates Systemic Approach To Restructuring

He says, he will contribute to making the country of our dreams to actualize in his lifetime.

The former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has challenged Nigerians to contribute their quota to making the country of their dreams.

Eaglesforesight earlier reports that Daniel said he was proposing a systemic approach to achieve equitable development in the country without leaving any section behind.

“As an advocate for restructuring, I believe in compartmental growth, one which will relax the pressure on the centre and advance the economic strength of the federating units.

“But this approach must be systemic and not brash. A sudden fiscal restructuring that doesn’t focus on collective economic growth for all states will create a chaotic migration problem and burden for the developed ones,” the former governor asserted.

Otunba Daniel made the call while he was giving his keynote address at a Bootcamp organized by the Politics Leadership Training Institute(POLA) for emerging leaders from Sagamu in Ogun State.

The former governor, an mechanical engineer by profession, maintained that only Nigerians could develop Nigeria.

“Americans developed the United States, Chinese developed China, only Nigerians can develop Nigeria,” he told his audience.

Speaking on the threats of division ravaging the country, Daniel said “no nation devalues itself into prosperity,” arguing that citizens should rather work to use Nigeria’s population economy to its advantage.

“Restructuring plan can best work when the federating states have the potential for self-sufficiency,” Daniel advised.

Daniel says his vision for setting up the tuition free school is borne out of his burden to raise quality leaders ready to take over leadership mantle in any sphere of lives they may find themselves.

“Democracy is not a magic wand, in fact, it is like a computer data processing system that thrives on the reliability of the data imputed,” Daniel reckons.

“For citizens to enjoy good governance, they must ensure that only the best hands are handed over the mantle of leadership.” burden to raise quality leaders ready to take over leadership mantle in any sphere of lives they may find themselves.
