A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said that a son of late Chief Bola Ige, Muyiwa, is acting the script of some unnamed persons to tarnish his ( Omisore) image.
Omisore spoke through his media aide, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, at a press conference he addressed in Osogbo on Monday.
The governorship aspirant exonerated himself while reacting to interview granted by Muyiwa in Lagos on Sunday.
Muyiwa, who is the serving Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning in Osun State, had said that his father’s ghost would continue to haunt those who killed him.
Ige, who was the Attorney General of the Federation, was assassinated at his residence in Ibadan on December 23, 2001.
But Odeyemi said his principal knew nothing about the killing of Ige.
Explaining that the relationship between the deceased and his principal was cordial, Odeyemi said that Omisore was not involved in the killing in any way.
Odeyemi said, “It is unfortunate that Muyiwa who Otunba Omisore paid his fees is now being used to disparage him.
“Muyiwa is acting the conspiracy theory script handed over to him by some people. Is he doing this because of the position he is holding? The late Chief Bola Ige was a fearless man who stood for the truth at all times irrespective of who is affected.”
Responding, Muyiwa said, “A tiger needs not profess its tigeritude. Silence is, however, the best answer for their ilks.”
It will be recalled that Ige family had in February issued a statement on the eve of Omisore’s declaration of his intention to contest the governorship seat of the state that an aspirant wanted to parade a fictitious member of the family who would exonerate him from their father’s killing. The family did not mention anybody.
Aregbesola and some civil society groups had earlier in the year called on the Federal Government to revisit the trial of Ige murder suspects.
But Omisore who said that the governor was alluding to him urged him to provide new evidence which linked him with the killing.
The statement reads, “We make bold to say that Senator Dr. Iyiola Omisore who was persecuted for almost three and half years and made to suffer unjustly has reopened the case at the Federal High Court, Ibadan, seeking N2bn as damages for malicious prosecution.
“We therefore wish to advise Ogbeni Aregbesola that if he has new evidence, he should apply to be joined in this case so that the truth will unfold.
“It is disheartening that Aregbesola and his ilks have chosen to dance on Ige’s grave several years after his gruesome murder purely for political gain.
“When last was Aregbesola seen at Ige’s anniversary for genuine concern for the late politician?
“If there are fresh facts why didn’t they appeal the judgement on Ige’s murder over these years, why now that election timetable was released by INEC?” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

God knows what ishidden? Mumu, there is nothing hidden under the sun. Omisore's hand is not clean. Surely he will die a sorrowful death soon.
ReplyDeleteOmisore with his media aids; Mr. Diran Odeyemi might be suffering for mental illness because it is unthinkable that some one can claim as I quote.
ReplyDelete“It is unfortunate that Muyiwa who Otunba Omisore paid his fees is now being used to disparage him."
Who is Omisore to pay the guy's school fees?
The young man schooled when Ige was alive or what is the basic family responsibility of Ige and his wife can not afford to pay their children school fees.
Very unfortunate Nigeria is a place where murders ad looters enjoy impunity.
Nigerians are watching.
But listen here! Muyiwa(Ige son) did not mention any names, what he said is the ghost of his father will hunt the pple that killed him that's all so what's Omisore's problem? Or is he among the killers?or was he the person dt gave them the go ahead? If not I don't think why that statement should bother him except only there is something he's not telling us or perhaps ige ghost is really getting ready to torment the killers.
ReplyDeleteIge's ghost really at work so soon.
ReplyDeleteOmisore the killer,blood thirsty fool,I ask you,who killed Bola Ige?
You ofcourse!!!
OBJ,Atiku,have you both seen the monster you created in omisore?
God will judge you all.
Osun indigenes are not fools,they will vote wisely
If omisore had a hand in the death of Ige,such will befall you and him Insha Allah i.e such judgement. Painful death.
ReplyDelete@anonymous 12:47pm, why are you takin it personal for cursing sum1 here or are you relate to bola ige?. I never say dat whom dat kill bola ige did right buh what am saying is that you say what you know and sure of. I can see that you're a muslim by birth buh doeant know anythin about the doctrine. Just want you to know that bola ige was not the only person killed in this country. People shuld forget any ghost running after alive one, how many has been killed and how many ghost has been running after those who killed them. Its only omisore people are shouting and moreso who knows wether bola ige self had once conspired to killed sum1 too when he was alive. All our leaders are devilish and no clean person among them, they are all self centeredness. Only God can save us. I won't curse back buh if you've done right den let............ Have a nice day
ReplyDelete"Bola Ige's son wants to tarnish my image" Yaaaaa. It took me several years to build this fantastic image. I am not the one who killed Bola Ige and I did not remove his cap in Oni's palace. I am the next governor of the State of Osun. My campaign will be kick-started from Esa Oke. Just come and watch me and you will see the crowd.
