That the late Bola Ige had a great impact in the lives of the Osun people (and Nigerians) was brought to fore in the just-concluded guber elections in the state. Yesterday, the late elder statesman’s son, Muyiwa Ige, who is Osun Commissioner for Urban and Rural Development, predicted a landslide victory for the incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola. In his words, “By the grace of God, by the time the result is read out today, I’m sure my governor will have nothing less than 75 to 80 percent of the votes. We must secure it (the result).
They will announce the result to the general public and we will all go to the collation centre. Immediately, we will transmit all the information real time either to the internet or our situation room. So, the issue of grabbing ballot boxes is archaic nowadays. We have already told the youth corps members not to fold the ballot and they have listened to us”.

On the arrest of the All Progressive Congress (APC) women leader, Muyiwa Ige said, “I understood that they were coming for me. But that never happened. Some soldiers went into the house of SSA, Women Affairs, picked one of the children and one of the wards in the house. But outside that, in Esa-Oke, we have not heard of any other case. But I know that Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General was picked up. We also heard that two honourable members were arrested. We have been hearing all forms of harassment in Osogbo and Ede”.
