Son of the former governor of old Oyo state and former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, late Chief Bola Ige (SAN), Arc Muyiwa Ige, Sunday said those that killed his father did so because of sheer envy and bitter jealousy.
Arc Ige stated this at the thanksgiving and prayer on the 90th posthumous birthday of the late Attorney General of the Federation held at St Anne’s Church, Molete, Ibadan.
According to him, the killers of his father 19 years ago at his Solemia House in Bodija area of Ibadan will continue to live by it.
Stressing that the gruesome murder of Chief Bola Ige was unfortunate, Arc Ige said all those who have hands in the killing did so because of sheer envy, and bitter jealousy.
“My father really loved young people. He also believed in the emancipation of the common man and elevating young people. A lot of his peers didn’t like him for that because they could not understand young people. But that was the essence of Bola Ige, and it was part of the envy that ate into the souls of some of those who didn’t like him. Nonetheless, that was their problem. Bola Ige came to this world, did his bit, and his legacy lives on,” he said.
While thanking God for the life of late Chief Bola Ige, he emphasised that his late father bequeathed a good legacy of selfless service, good leadership, integrity, honesty and legacy of seeking the best for the common man
