After being in limbo for nearly two years, Senator Christopher Iyiola Omisore was recently resurrected. In an interview he granted, the politician mounted his serial denial that he knew nothing about the assassination of Uncle Bola Ige.
.
Chief Bola Ige a Federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice under President Olusegun Obasanjo was gruesomely murdered at his Ibadan residence on December 23, 2001. We shall come back to that later.
.
In the interview, Iyiola Omisore denigrated Governor Rauf Aregbesola's administration and leveled baseless and unfounded charges against the performing icon of the State of Osun. The impeached Deputy Governor revealed what has been rumored in many quarters that he is nurturing a gubernatorial ambition to unseat the Action Congress of Nigeria governor. As a free citizen, Iyiola Omisore is at liberty to pursue political office, even to the highest level – since the courts have said so – not minding the perception of the general public about his person. After all, that is the beauty of deliberative democracy. It is about equity and the cleanness of one's hands!
.
Iyiola Omisore said he hopes to have a manifesto for his governorship ambition next year. "My manifesto will be people-oriented", he said. "It will enhance the status of our people and create wealth.
.
There will be free education for the people and we shall pay attention to the health sector. It's not about empty sloganeering." The content of Omisore's would-be manifesto is not fundamentally different from the hollow one the PDP offered in its eight years rule in the State of Osun. Omisore was also a Senator under the government for eight years.
Whatever everyone is saying now is by the way. I strongly believe the whole matter will be revealed to the whole world very soon.
