Gbenga Daniel Raises Alarm Over Ogun State Government Planned Demolition Of His Private Residence And Hotels

 

By Efa Sunday 


Former Ogun State governor and serving senator, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has raised an alarm over alleged plans by the state government to demolish his private residence and hotels in Sagamu.


In a statement issued by his media aide Steve Oliyide on Saturday , Daniel called the situation a “very displeasing development” and alerted the public and security agencies to the matter.



According to the statement, individuals claiming to be agents of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration posted Notices of Contravention, Quit Notices, and demolition threats on three of Daniel’s properties: the Asoludero Court, the Conference Hotels Limited, and its annex.


The statement accused the governor of “malicious and vindictive abuse of power” by using a newly enacted law retroactively to target a political opponent. Oliyide said, “We strongly condemn this latest act of political persecution by Governor Dapo Abiodun… [this is a] clear demonstration of the governor’s malicious and vindictive abuse of power, hiding behind a newly enacted law retroactively to target a political opponent.”


The statement noted that the notices cited “suspected” offenses, which Oliyide deemed “ludicrous” given that the properties have existed for many years.


Oliyide further accused the administration of bypassing due process and issuing an immediate demolition threat, calling it a “thuggish tactic designed to intimidate and inflict damage.”

  In every generation, one name rises with a story that is bigger than ambition and deeper than ordinary leadership. In the University of Cross River State, that name is Peter Olom Ube, a man whose life has read like a manual for purpose, discipline and service. His journey never started with privilege. It started with a boy in Utugwang Obudu who refused to take second place in life and whose quiet determination has carried him from Nkirira Primary School to the frontlines of postgraduate leadership in UNICROSS. Those who know him speak of a consistent pattern. Wherever Peter steps in, order follows, progress follows, structure follows., and impact is never negotiable.
