Addressing a National Assembly public hearing on Friday, July 4, 2025, Daniel presented his case for constitutional amendments that would pave the way for new states, with Ijebu State at the forefront of his advocacy.
As sponsor of the proposal, the senator emphasized that the demand transcends politics or ethnic considerations, positioning it instead as a matter of equity and federal balance.
He revealed that Senate Bill 564, formally introduced on November 27, 2024, seeks to amend the 1999 Constitution to facilitate Ijebu State’s creation—a move he says addresses the aspirations of Ogun East residents and corrects an imbalance dating back to colonial Nigeria.
