Chief Ige was on December 23, 2001, murdered in his Bodija residence in Ibadan by a yet to be identified gunmen.
But fielding questions from newsmen in
Osogbo, Senator Omisore who was the prime suspect in the murder case along with
some of his associates stated that one of the reasons was to cover up the
murder of a former House of Assembly member, Hon. Odunayo Olagbaju who was
killed few days before Ige.
According to him, another reason was the
second term ambition of the then governor of the state, now chairman of All
Progressives Congress APC, Chief Bisi Akande.
Looking back, Senator Omisore who was
persuaded in 1999 to step down for Chief Akande by their party then, the
Alliance for Democracy, AD, stated that he had no regret for obeying the
party’s directive.
Omisore, one of the leading PDP governorship
aspirants in August this year’s election in Osun State also noted that there
were no progressives again in any of the parties.
He said: “We don’t have progressives again in
this country. It is mere deception and propaganda. PDP, APC and any other party
are the same thing. It is just a matter of political convenience.”
Omisore called for the immediate redeployment
of Osun State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, and Ambassador Rufus Akeju
from the state alleging that he cannot conduct a free and fair election.
