The son of Late Human Right Activist, Mr. Muyiwa Ige yesterday said the family has handed over the masterminds and killers of his father, Chief Bola Ige to God for punishment.

The former Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning in Osun State, spoke with newsmen during a service held to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. Chief Bola Ige, was assassinated at his Bodija residence in Ibadan, on December 23, 2001. Muyiwa said, although his father died for democracy to thrive, Nigeria was not worth wasting one’s life for.

He said, “We thank God for his mercies. We thank God for wonderful legacies. It has not been easy but God has kept us on and by the grace of God, all the perpetrators behind his (Ige) death, God will deal with them. It was my father’s death that took away my mother some 20 months later.

“But whether the country wants to immortalise my father or not, I don’t care inasmuch as the State Government of Osun has named a university after my father, which is massive. “It is the highest level of immortalisation. The road in this community is about 5km and it is named after my dad. There is a Bola Ige Information Technology Centre in Abuja. There are streets in Oyo State named after him.

“My father believed in Nigeria. He said Nigeria was worth living and dying for. The truth of the matter is, once your heart is in the right place, Project Nigeria is worth pursuing for all of us. Death is what we all owe and he paid the price for democracy to thrive.

“I am not so sure that Nigeria is worth dying for; however, we all have a responsibility to ensure that we don’t waste our lives for Nigeria.”

Na politics and tribalism be our major prob.

As big as Nigeria is.... It is not worth dying for...... So Why will some people want to die for ordinary politicians

Oga muyiwa, we agree Nigeria is not worth dying for. But you see the death of your father and the inability of any of the security agencies to nab the kilkers? You should be looking at OBJ and no other person.

Nigeria is not worth dying for, na na you know? As them born pikin for naija, na dem dey give am that orientation....









Bola ige is a good man...... just b proud of ur father legacy.

You are right.

But the supposed killer is now very close friend of presidency and apc, so government is not interested in sending him to prison. So the case of murder of chief bola ige is no no to apc and presidency.

Even those AD followers of chief ige that had vowed that if they get power they would look into the killing of their former boss, now are not interested anymore in the case.
