Former governor of Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun East, Otunba Gbenga Daniel on Friday said that only God knows the next governor of the state between the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Solomon Adeola fondly called Yayi and his Peoples Democratic Party counterpart, Oladipupo Adebutu.
OGD as the former governor is fondly called disclosed this while speaking during the burial of his mother-in-law, Mrs Sabainah Ibironke Opawole, mother of Yeye Olufunke Daniel, former first lady of the state.
The burial service which was held at Ibara Baptist Church, Abeokuta had in attendance former President Olusegun Obasanjo represented by his wife, Mrs Bola Obasanjo, former Gov Ibikunle Amosun represented by his wife, Chief Mrs Olufunso Amosun, Gov Dapo Abiodun, Adebutu, Yayi and senator representing Ogun West, Mr Tokunbo Talabi, the Secretary to the state government, among others.
While giving vote of thanks to all that graced the burial service, the former governor used the medium to calm fray nerves as far as the 2027 governorship race in the state is concerned saying that he was sure that the election would be devoid of violence.
Daniel said that the fact that both the supporters of Adebutu and Yayi were chanting songs in support of their governorship candidates give no cause for alarm as it was all a game of politics that is always played with sense of maturity in the state.
