Oshiomhole Meets the Widow He Insulted, Compensates Her with N2m
After apologizing to the poor widow he insulted, the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has offer the widow immediate employment and also gave her 2million naira to get a shop and trade.
The woman which was identified as Mrs Joy Ifije reportedly had a breakfast meeting with the governor early morning on Sunday, yesterday.
The woman has been employed by the state government to join the State’s War Against Indiscipline in the campaign against street trading and to keep the state clean.
While explaining the reason why he didn’t want them to sell their goods by the roads side, the governor said they might get crushed by long vehicles.
According to the governor; “When you put your things on the road a vehicle can run into you and they have killed some people like that and that was why I said if you are a widow do you want more people to be widowed? But when I said go and die, that one was said in a fit of anger. And I am really sorry”
“I want you to join us. We would employ you and pay you salary. You would help us to campaign to other women not to trade on road sides. We should not use poverty as a yardstick.
The Governor then gave the woman a cash gift of N2 million
“In addition to working with the War Against Indiscipline, I am also giving you the sum of two million naira so that you can hire a shop, trade inside the shop and not roadside and I pray that God will bless your decision on how you utilize the money. This money is not for you to share or distribute but to help you as a working capital”.
