The ex-governor of Ogun State acknowledged Tinubu's efforts to address these issues despite not openly discussing them.

Daniel appealed to Nigerians for patience and support, emphasising the current administration's dedication to improving the nation's prosperity.

He expressed his understanding, along with the current government, of the prevalent hunger in the region, which prompted him to offer assistance by distributing more than 12,000 food packs monthly to the residents of the senatorial district.

Additionally, at the event, various empowerment tools, including sewing machines, generators, and grinding machines, were provided to the community members.

Gbenga Daniels' appeal to Nigerians

As quoted by Punch, he said:

“Really, things might not be so good as we want it but I want to plead with you my people to show understanding because our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu inherited what we can call a failed economy.
“But it is impossible for him to talk. With all the things that have happened before him, he cannot talk, all he is trying to do is to find the solution.
