Former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has reacted to an online new platform that claimed that his administration prevented the Living Faith Miniseries aka Winners’ Chapel from fixing the roads around the Church’s community in Sango, Ado-Odo Local Government Area of the state.
The online platform simply known as
the Voice Of The Church Publication in a recent publication claimed that
 a few years ago, the Ogun State Government under the leadership of Otunba Gbenga Daniel had prevented and even arrested and charged to court the church’s direct labour workers. The publication also added that Ogun Government under Daniel stopped the church from fixing the said road which leads to establishments like the Honda Training School and football pitch, Indomie Noodles Factory, Obasanjo Farms, The Bells University and Bells Secondary School (owned by Former President Obasanjo), Canaanland’s Covenant University, Faith City’s Crawford University and many banks among others, insisting it was not the business of the church which had earmarked about #560 million (about $5 million at the time)
The State Government had budgeted #4.4billion ($40 million) to fix the same road.
The former Governor in his comment  said his two terms of eight years tenure as captain of ship of the Gateway State had a robust relationship with the Living Faith Ministries, stating that at no time did his administration go on a collision part with the church.
“The unfounded news bit about our administration preventing Winners Chapel from tarring the road or charging people to court was just a figment of the writer’s imagination.
He advised the writer of the piece to recheck his records and research very well and quickly retract the write in order not to mislead people the good people of Ogun State.
According to Otunba Daniel, Bishop Oyedepo was and remains one of the greatest friends of his administration with who a first class relationship was maintained before, during and after his tenure.
He stressed that clearly there must be a mix up somewhere, adding that that kind of behavior is simply not the  character of the administration he ran in Ogun State for eight years.
The former governor also submitted that while he was Governor of Ogun State, his administration engaged in numerous road construction and rehabilitation projects across the three senatorial districts of the state working with the state owned road construction Agency; the Ogun State Road Maintenance  Agency (OGROMA) which, up till date, remains a reference point in and outside the state.
