Wikileaks: Lagos Governor Tinubu On Funsho Williams' Murder by Hatitude: 9:33am On Sep 07, 2011 |
Giving his impressions on the recent murder of Funsho Williams, Governor Tinubu contended the murder was undoubtedly political. Although he offered no evidence except his knowledge of the political ambitions of the key players, Tinubu firmly believed PDP National Vice Chairman(South) Olabode (Bode) George masterminded Williams' murder. Tinubu elaborated that George, a very brusque and aggressive man, had made many enemies among his fellow Yoruba. George knew many people were counting the days to seek retribution against him for the many dirty tricks he played as the PDP's point man in the Southwest. Tinubu claimed George, aware that he was unliked, recognized the need for protection once President Obasanjo left office. Consequently, George was now trying to position himself to take the PDP nomination for Lagos State Governor so that he could enjoy the power and immunity attached to that office. However, to realize this objective, several obstacles would have to be moved aside, asserted Tinubu. Williams and the other PDP hopefuls were the main obstacles.

A murderer will know how his fellow murderer thinks so I'm not surprised that Tinubu could guess whom the murderer of Funsho Williams is. |

@kalman not every nigerian knew funsho williams so buzugee shouldnt be so castigated.funsho's politics was confined to lagos state.just like people in lagos might have ni idea who dipo dina is or who taiwo elekode is. At the time of funsho's death,it was common knowledge that the PDP was responsible.the main suspect in the eye of the public was ogunlewe.i remember he was arrested for a while.anyhow sha,na naija we dey,nobody will ever get convicted for the murder |
Re: Wikileaks: Lagos Governor Tinubu On Funsho Williams' Murder by buzugee(m): 12:52pm On Sep 07, 2011 |

So Nigeria society is now where the God forsaken Wikileak has finally get a resting place? Wikileak here, wikileak there this so surprising after almost all better countries in the world has disowned the so called Wikileak or brainleak site now is Nigeria matter now to talk about and people are wasting their time answering or posting something about Wikileak nonsense report?May God have mercy. Posters Wikileak is an outdated site, no longer relevant in world society so no need of wasting time because it is all about craps, uninteresting and nonsense. |

The truth is gradually coming out, how the yarobas have kept slaughtering their own. This has further given credence over mustafa's revelation that the yaroba leaders collected bribe to have abioala slaughtered by the almajiris. Yarobas are still are in darkness. 1 Like |

@deb,emilo come to think of it,asiwaju has been accused of all sorts of crimes:drug peddling,corruption,hinderance of progress,thuggery etc but never has his name ever come up in an instance of a murder.i will like to state for sake of clarity,one murder in which the gaze of the public was directed at asiwaju as a possible suspect.you dont have to provide details or facts,just cite the instance |

buzugee: Hmm, bro, I'll advice you stay in OMERICA or JAND then, this ya eccentricity will amuse and confuse the neighborhood kids to no end. I can already see your local nickname. But if you are still enjoying Eba + ponmo and orisirisi, then no wahala. You are Still connected to us spiritually then. Food na spiritual material you know, that's why a big lump of Pounded yam can produce liquid piss in a few hours. We need the eccentric ones though, too many pretenders and conformist dey Naija already. |
Re: Wikileaks: Lagos Governor Tinubu On Funsho Williams' Murder by Delafruita(m): 2:32pm On Sep 07, 2011 |
@deb,emilo am still awaiting your response.abi una don run?amytime people hear asiwaju's name,they start spewing all manner of jargons.you say it takes a murderer to know a murderer,now i challenge you to state one instance in which a person was murdered and asiwaju's name was thrown up either officially or unofficially as a possible suspect. As regards this williams case,i still recall that despite the political acrimony between williams and asiwaju,tinubu was among the first people to visit lady hilda.he even renamed western avenue funsho williams avenue in his honour aside other steps he took to immortalise williams. I think all this tinubu-name-calling is unwarranted,at least until evidence of corruption,drug peddling or whatever crime has been attached to his name is provided |

Re: Wikileaks: Lagos Governor Tinubu On Funsho Williams' Murder by Xfactoria: 2:49pm On Sep 07, 2011 |
Anyone who believes these lies from Tinubu does so at his own peril. In actual fact, Tinubu more than Bode George is the most likely to have been responsible for Williams's murder. Bode George is not a saint but I doubt Tinubu's theory of him being interested in Lagos guber race and that being a reason for him to kill his friend of over 35years! For all who do not know, Bode George, Funsho Williams and Seye Ogunlewe were all colleagues at the University of Lagos back in the 60s. It was Bode George that facilitated Funsho's crossing to PDP after he was cheated by Afenifere in favour of Tinubu for the AD guber ticket in 1999. To set the records straight, Williams defeated Tinubu in the AD primaries but the leaders of the party handed the ticket to Tinubu as a form of gratitude for supposedly financing NADECO activities perhaps from proceeds of his illicit drug trades. As far back as 2003, when Tinubu rigged himself back into Alusa for second term, it was almost a forgone conclusion who the next Lagos Governor will be in 2007. Williams was only waiting to be crowned. PDP needed Lagos so badly and Williams represented their best hope. In fact, Obanikoro who later got the ticket was lobbying to be Williams running mate as at that time. Williams wooed Obanikoro to cross over from AD to PDP sometime in 2005. Meanwhile, Tinubu had boasted in many quarters that he will do everything to install the next Lagos governor in 2007. Apparently, his only stumbling block was Williams of PDP. If Williams is out of the way, no other person can successfully challenge his plans to install a protege. The circumstances under which Tinubu hedged Williams in 1999 and 2003 puts so much fear into Tinubu. In fact, during the collation of results for the Lagos guber election in 2003, Williams was leading after the result of 18LGs were collated before Ikuforiji (current Lagos Speaker) and some other Ikorodu bigwigs delivered Epe and Ikorodu to Tinubu. Williams was Tinubu's nightmare and he probably only waited for the opportunity presented in the Ikorodu PDP fracas to strike. Williams was the only man who could stop Tinubu from installing Fashola in 2007. So please guys, connect the dots. 1 Like 1 Share |

@donem bode george is a former military administrator of ondo state,former naional vice chairman;southwest of PDP,graduate of corruption engineering from NPA with a masters' from university of kirikiri.special attributes include - ability to withstand hotslap from OBJ for losing lagos after over 4billion naira been looted by him - effrontery to still celebrate after graduation from university of kirikiri - ability to be able to blame asiwaju tinubu for everything,even his son's madness idiotic man |

@X-factoria you seem to have more information at your disposal than the police,SSS,PDP etc at your disposal.do you think the PDP would have allowed tinubu any rest if he had a hand in william's death?when obasanjo came to lagos in the aftermath of william's death,he confessed rather to the chagrin of many thatthe killer was "one of them".why do you think obanikoro and ogunlewe were arrested?just before william's death,he was on a warpath with ogunlewe,many of his supporters were killed in ikorodu. Its normal that tinubu should have been a suspect but he never was because the PDP knew which of its killers ordered the hit.otherwise why was koro appointed ambassador and ogunlewe has since slipped into oblivion?guy think straight |
