Last Sunday, September 30, this year, marked exactly the 35th year
that the first civilian governor of the old Oyo
State , (present Oyo and Osun States )
the late Chief ’Bola Ige, Senior Advocate of Nigerian (SAN) left office in a
rather foggy circumstance.
*Bola Ige |
Foggy in the sense that happenings preceding
the gazetted end of his government were fraught with threats, betrayals, back
stabbings etc. I intend, by this article, to recall history, but more importantly,
to pull the ears of present-day enfant terrible in Nigeria ’s political space, that
their disturbing acts of incivility, winner – takes – all, anti-party deals,
etc., do not advance democracy and good governance.
