Former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, on Sunday said his trial can be compared to that of Jesus Christ who was persecuted for being compassionate.
According to the former governor, "his court trial remains the biggest probe in the history of the state and meant to persecute him for no just reason".
He likened his trial to that of Jesus Christ, Obafemi Awolowo and Abraham Adesanya.
"The question is this, why Jesus Christ was crucified despite his good work, why was Obafemi Awolowo persecuted, why was Abraham Adesanya persecuted. It was only because they dare to correct the wrong in the society".
During his tenure as governor, Mr. Daniel allegedly diverted funds and properties belonging to the state for private use.
He is currently on trial for corruption before an Ogun State High Court.
