Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Bode George, has called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to reopen the investigation into the murder of the PDP governorship candidate in the 2003
election in Lagos State, Funsho Williams.He wrote, “We appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to re-open the investigation of the brutal murder of Funsho Williams. The President has done the right thing by re-opening the investigation of the murder of Chief Bola Ige.
“He will be greatly enhanced in historical reckoning and signification if his administration is attested as being the one that finally nailed the evil characters hiding in plain sight who murdered Funsho Williams.” The PDP leader said Williams, who was in a position to win the 2007 governorship election in Lagos State, was murdered in his home in Dolphin Estate on July 27, 2006.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP said Williams was his friend at the University of Lagos where they both studied Engineering.He said the deceased had achieved so much before his death at the age of 58. George fondly remembered, “I am particularly passionate about Funsho who many of his acolytes adorably called captain. Funsho was my junior at the University of Lagos. We were both Engineering students but sprung from different departments. While he was in Civil Engineering, I was in the Electrical Engineering Department.”“Those who killed Funsho Williams might have killed a man but not his dream of rescuing and salvaging our society. We continue where he stopped,” George added.
