Wow! Oshiomhole Meets the Widow he Insulted, Gives her N2m & Drinks Tea With Her


Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Monday met with the the
widow he insulted in a major road in the state while on an inspection
tour and donated two million naira to her, after an apology:
"Let me apologise to you for the way I spoke to you, I am very
sorry about the statement. I have also realised that even in
anger, one could still achieve the same result that he set out to
without provocative outburst. I apologise from the bottom of my
heart."
The widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, who was invited to the Edo Government
House by the governor, was also offered automatic employment by
Governor Oshiomhole to take her off the street. She was so happy...
Oshiomhole had invited the widow to personally apologise to her over
his uncomplimentary remark which had generated controversies in
both the conventional and social media in since last week.
Oshiomhole's action has frustrated the PDP in Edo State that were
trying to play politics with the matter.
The governor used the opportunity to advise against risking their lives
to trade on high ways. He said trading on the road and walk ways
could hinder free flow of traffic as well as cause accidents.
He added that his government will continue to change the face of the
state with infrastructural development.
On her part, the widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, pleaded with the governor to
forgive her for flaunting the law of the state and promised to do better
next time. She said: "I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt
down to beg when I realised I was face to face with the Governor ."
Funny enough, the widow promised to help government advise other
women not to trade on the road side.
