In a recent development concerning the saga between KFC and Senator Gbenga Daniel’s don, Adebola Daniel, a concerned netizen took to the X app to ask him about what his father did for people living with a disability in Ogun State when he was the Governor for eight years. Here’s the question that was thrown at Adebola Daniel, following the KFC saga that was earlier reported by Kemi Filani;
The netizen by the name Omotayo Williams wrote; “Dear @deboladaniel Your father was Governor of Ogun State for 8 years. What initiatives did he undertake to improve the lives of people living with disabilities during his tenure? Your father wields significant influence in Nigeria. Apart from enhancing your own circumstances, what efforts has he made to support people with disabilities across the country? What contributions have you personally made to assist them? Or is your focus solely on yourself? Do the lives of others living with disabilities not matter to you?”
In a well detailed response to Omotayo Williams, here’s what Adebola Daniels said to him;
“My dear sir, I’m deeply saddened by this angle you have chosen to take. It’s simply unbecoming. You have chosen your words in a manner to tear me down than to build up. As a nation builder yourself sir, this is deeply sad. Today I choose not to get political with you because it is not a political matter, it is a social one. I will speak about me today, not anyone else.
I do not believe in virtue signalling or posturing. When I help people, I do so quietly. I, Adebola, fund 27 charities monthly. 7 of them for children, 12 of them for PWD empowerments and the rest for employment.
From paying for CV Rewrites, to raising funds on my birthday for PWD charities, I live a life of silence and given back. I won’t @anyone. But folks you know yourselves how I’ve taken it upon myself to show up especially when no one asks. I make no noise.
This week, something happened to me that shook me to my core. Destabilised me and devastated me emotionally, I chose to speak out not to bully or harass, but to expose myself as a human in pain and hurting and you took that and trampled on it for retweets.
Sir, shame on you. This your questions that means so much to you, I will answer them AFTER this situation is done. You will not politicise my pain for engagements. You and I know you’re above that.
I implore to be the thing I want to be seen
as more than anything else….. a human
being.”
