It was sudden, and I said, \u2018Please sir, I will come back to you.\u2019 I called Oluwole Rotimi, and this is what your friend told me: that he was going to resign from Obasanjo\u2019s government tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe asked me to advise him not to resign because if he does, he is likely going to die\u2014he said that to me on the phone.

But I said, \u2018Don\u2019t. You can go to Obasanjo, tell him what you are angry about, and if he doesn\u2019t want you anymore, here is your letter.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Ige trusting Obasanjo, Akande said: \u201cSince he was resigning from his government, I think he stopped trusting him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked who killed Bola Ige, Akande said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. He was killed in Oyo State while I was ruling in Osun State. The government killed him (Bola Ige). It was a state murder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLam Adesina, who was the Chief Security Officer of Oyo State then, went to court, and Ladoja withdrew the case from court. He might know more and be able to tell you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the government that killed him, and the government can kill anybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObasanjo wasn\u2019t keen about Ige\u2019s death; he was more interested in the stability of himself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He recounted how a friend, Oluwole Rotimi, warned Ige against leaving Obasanjo&#8217;s cabinet as such move could cost him his life A former interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bisi Akande, has shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the death of former Attorney General of the Federation, Bola Ige.
