PDP, others commemorate Funsho Williams 20 years after killing

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos held a memorial service to honor Funsho Williams, a former governorship candidate murdered in 2006. Williams was killed at his home in Lagos just before the PDP was set to choose its candidate for the 2007 Lagos State gubernatorial election. His death remains unsolved despite six men being prosecuted. The case has sparked ongoing public interest due to its political significance and the involvement of prominent figures like former governor Bola Tinubu, who faced accusations related to the incident. Williams had a distinguished career in engineering, public service, and politics, serving as a commissioner and holding leadership roles in various organizations. At the memorial, Bode George expressed grief over his death, highlighting Williams' impact.
