Funsho Williams did not abandon his ambition to become governor after Pa Adesanya appealed to him to step down for Tinubu in December 1998. With Obasanjo as president, Funsho decamped to the PDP. At that point, he became a greater political danger to the Lagos establishment. Meanwhile, Tinubu had already clashed with his deputy, Mrs. Kofo Akerele-Bucknor, a strong force in the AD, and had pushed the House to impeach her. This political misstep angered indigenous Lagosians, who saw Princess Bucknor as a representative of their enlightened interests. The grand scheme was to ensure that no Tinubu protégé would come near Lagos House again, and Funsho Williams was prepared to take up the mantle in 2007. The forces had gathered to sweep Tinubu’s looming influence from Lagos politics, but suddenly, Funsho Williams was murd@d in his Ikoyi residence.







Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame. What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed. Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
