Perhaps for President Obasanjo and his Vice President,Atiku Abubakar may have more to tell us on the Bola Ige murder
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU
In a very chilling account, Paedia Express Multimedia has
learnt that the Peoples Democratic Party
[PDP]killed ,Chief Bola Ige, the former Attorney General and Minister for justice
in Nigeria.
An impeccable source close to the heart of the political development in Osun state of Nigeria told this
reporter that Chief Bola Ige was a victim of circumstance.
He went down memory lane to recount the rivalry between
Former Governor Bisi Akande and his Deputy ,Senator Iyiola Omisore which later
made them to go there separate ways politically.
He explained that Chief Omisore who was now been continually
linked with the murder of Cicero of Esa-Oke was only someone who was been used
to the advantage of some powerful toes in Abuja politics.
According to him,Chief Akande was supposed to step aside for
his then Deputy,Chief Omisore based on the political road map of the state in
the then Action Democrats[AD],but when it was time for the former to step aside
for the latter as agreed gentlemanly it became a problem ad this was what
heated up oshun politics before the Bola Ige murder.
He recalled that Chief Bola Ige and Chief Akande were in the
same political camp and this further soiled the duo’s relationship with Chief
Omisore who felt betrayed as he rightly believed as at then that this killed his
governorship dreams despite been seen by many as more vibrant than the older
Akande.
He pointed out that it was in the midst of this situation
that a distraught Ige threw in the towel as Minister in a PDP controlled
central regime to wish to return back to his old party,the AD,which later
became Action Congress of Nigeria and now the All Progressive Congress[APC],so as
to prepare for the Presidential elections that was scheduled to hold back then.
He affirmed that because Ige,the Cicero of Esa –Oke was highly
respected for his political wizardry,the ruling PDP became jittery as the
Former Governor of the old Oyo State in the second republic was credited with
helping to write PDP constitution in 1998 and hence knew too much.
He revealed that it was at this stage that he was killed by
the ruling PDP.
He then asked this reporter some critical questions begging
for an answer,
How did Omisore who was in prison get INEC’S clearance to
contest,should a prisoner with murder charges hanging on his neck win in an election
and who pushed FRYO to cause a distraction?
In a related issue,another source told Paedia Express
Multimedia that Chief Bola Ige died due to a reprisal of the killing of youthful
and influential Osun state political strategist ,Chief Odunayo Olagbaju ,who
was said to have been a staunch supporter of Chief Iyiola Omisore while the latter
held forte as Deputy Governor
The source told Paedia Express Multimedia Group that infact
it was late chief olagbaju ‘s death that made it possible for Omisore’s political
rivals to get the better of him as at then as he was the one that stood in the
way in the state house of Assembly whenever any bill or political maneuverings was
going to go against his principal.
