Gbenga Daniel's campaign for the seat of the governor was described by political analysts as "electric"[ citation needed ] considering the fact that as a businessman, he defeated a sitting governor. His campaign was a revolution in the state in 2003 as he visited all the 236 wards of Ogun State, meeting with every stakeholder of every street and area in the state to sell his ideas.
