Reflecting on their long-standing relationship, President Tinubu particularly recounted the pivotal support he received from Senator Daniel during the dawn of the Fourth Republic in 1999. He noted that Daniel's strategic insights and unwavering commitment to the progressive cause were instrumental during his own tenure as Governor of Lagos State and the broader efforts to entrench democratic values in the country.

The President lauded the Senator representing Ogun East for his "uncommon leadership" during his eight-year tenure as Governor of Ogun State, highlighting his focus on industrialization and grassroots development. "Gbenga Daniel remains a bridge-builder who has consistently demonstrated that politics should be a vehicle for service and national cohesion," the President stated. He added that the Senator’s presence in the 10th National Assembly continues to provide a wealth of experience for the legislative process.



As the "Otunba of Egba and Ijebuland" marks this milestone, President Tinubu prayed for his continued health and wisdom in the service of the nation. The 70th birthday celebrations have seen a cross-section of Nigerian leaders, including former presidents and governors, paying tribute to a man widely regarded as a tactician of South-Western politics. The festivities are expected to continue with several community projects and lectures aimed at mentoring the next generation of Nigerian leaders.
