Governor Daniel is considered to have controlled the legislature and the state leadership of the PDP while former Speaker Oseni was in power. He lost his grip of the legislature as soon as the former Speaker was impeached while he was on holiday in U.S.

However, a worrisome dimension had been introduced last week when a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Kayode Amusan, exposed an alleged plan by some politicians from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to assassinate him and three others.

Another source told pointblanknews.com that the simmering crisis which first came to public knowledge is said to do with the rift between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the governor. It was gathered that the problem Obasanjo has against Daniel is to do with Yoruba leadership, which the governor is allegedly pursuing with vigor without the consent of the former president who purportedly paved way for his return in 2007.
