Ex-Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun State has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of befriending all those accused in the murder of Bola Ige, a one-time Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Nigeria.
Oyinlola, who served as a governor on the platform of the PDP, which is the opposition party in Osun, made the declaration while announcing his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
He said the suspects in the killing of Mr. Ige were now confidants of President Jonathan or functionaries in his government.
Oyinloa said: “The candidate of the PDP was arrested for killing Ige. He was arrested and detained. The national secretary of the [PDP], Professor Wale Oladipo, was also detained in connection with the killing. The Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, was also detained.
“The chairman of the party in this state, Ayobami Olaoluwa, was also arrested. So, why is everyone who was in detention given appointment or put in a position of authority [by Jonathan]? We need to ask the government.”
Mr. Oyinlola, who was a former national secretary of the PDP, spoke in Osogbo during the grand finale of the APC’s governorship campaign. He described the governorship candidate of the PDP, Iyiola Omisore, as a selfish person. A prince from Okuku, Mr. Oyinlola spoke in Yoruba Language at the rally that was attended by current Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State as well as several APC governors and top officials.
He urged voters in Osun state to reject Omisore and vote for APC candidate, Rauf Aregbesola on Saturday.
