Seized Jets: Gbenga Daniel Calls For Diplomatic Solutions

35

A former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, has called for diplomatic solutions to the impasse left by the seizure of three presidential jets by a Chinese company in Paris, France.

Daniel, in a statement on Saturday, made available by his media team, said that rather than engaging in media war, the most reasonable course of action is finding a diplomatic solution to the issue at hand.

“It is not time to play politics with the assets and integrity of our dear country,” said the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District.

“As a patriotic elder statesman who has had the privilege of serving Ogun State as the Governor through which he was able to bring about several developmental projects including the establishment of the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone and others, it is this patriotic path he chooses to thread.

“However, let us emphasize once again that the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone project still exists and several Nigerians are working there as we write, just as there are several companies still doing their legitimate businesses.

“At the time of his handover in 2011, about 56 companies were at various stages of operations, construction and showing interests in the Free Trade Zone and through which various life-impacting developments (including but not limited to the construction of roads, schools for the local community, scholarship and sponsorship of many Nigerians for academic pursuit etc) have taken place in the Igbesa area, which was an otherwise rural community before the establishment of the Free Trade Zone.”
