Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, last night, told President Bola Tinubu, not to allow what happened to Chief Bola Ige in the 1983 national election repeat itself after he was allegedly cheated at the polls.
Bola Ige’s 1983 re-election bid as governor of the old Oyo State ended in one of the most controversial elections of Nigeria’s Second Republic.Ige had been elected governor in 1979 on the platform of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN).However, in the governorship election held on 13 August 1983, he sought a second term against Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo of the federally ruling National Party of Nigeria (NPN).
