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](/source/Ogun_State), [Nigeria](/source/Nigeria) from December 1993 to August 1996 during the military regime of General [Sani Abacha](/source/Sani_Abacha).[2][3]

In 1994 Akintonde renamed the Ogun State College of Education to the [Tai Solarin College of Education](/source/Tai_Solarin_University_of_Education) in honor of the late doctor [Tai Solarin](/source/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]
