The relationship between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) and Senator Gbenga Daniel (OGD) is not a recent political convenience, it is a bond forged in the crucible of Nigeria’s pro-democracy struggle and strengthened through decades of shared vision, loyalty, and strategic collaboration.
From the days of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), when democratic ideals were defended at great personal risk, to the historic transition of 1999 that birthed the Fourth Republic, both leaders stood on the side of progressive politics.
During the 1999 governorship struggle in Lagos State, OGD was among the trusted allies who provided strategic support and unwavering commitment to ensure that the progressive vision prevailed.
That foundation of trust did not wane with time. In the 2023 presidential election, the alliance once again demonstrated its strength. Senator Gbenga Daniel played a visible and strategic role in mobilization, coordination, and consolidation efforts that contributed meaningfully to PBAT’s victory at the polls. Their partnership proved not only durable, but decisive.
The depth of this relationship was publicly reaffirmed when President-elect Tinubu, during his first courtesy visit to the late revered Sikiru Kayode Adetona, openly acknowledged Otunba Gbenga Daniel as a long-standing friend and trusted ally. That public affirmation was more than ceremonial, it was symbolic of years of shared political journey and mutual respect.
Today, as conversations turn toward the future, the phrase BATOGD 2027–2031 and beyond reflects more than a political projection. It represents continuity, tested loyalty, and a partnership that has worked before and has every indication of working again.
In progressive politics, alliances are built on trust, consistency, and performance. The BATOGD relationship embodies these principles. It is a partnership rooted in history, validated by results, and positioned for the future.
BATOGD 2027 is not just a slogan, it is a continuation of a proven political synergy. And as always, OGD does not carry last.
