Colonel Daniel Akintonde (born November 21, 1949) in Plateau State. He hails from Ogbomoso, in Oyo State.[1] He was appointed Military Governor of Ogun State, Nigeria from December 1993 to August 1996 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha.[2][3]
In 1994 Akintonde renamed the Ogun State College of Education to the Tai Solarin College of Education in honor of the late doctor Tai Solarin.[4] Akintonde was among those arrested for involvement in the December 1997 alleged coup.[5] He was cleared of the charges on 20 April 1998.[6]
He was retired from the military in June 1999, along with all officers who had served as ministers, governors or administrators during the Babangida, Abacha and Abubakar regimes.[7] In August 1999 the Ogun State House of Assembly summoned Akintonde to answer questions about some contracts awarded during his tenure. Reporters were barred from the hearing.[8]
