The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo State, has condemned the
inhuman treatment meted out on a widow by the State Governor, Comrade
Adams Oshiomhole (of APC)
The PDP in rescue of the widow has asked the widow to come to their office and get the sum of N250,000 to help cushion the effects her seized goods will have on her.
This was contained in a press release signed by the state chairman, Dan Orbih. See the press release below:
Edo PDP watched with consternation Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s brutal, inhuman and merciless treatment of a widow street-trader whose wares he ordered seized and who he unfeelingly told to ‘…go and die’ even as she knelt down in fervent protestations and appeals to his pity on a helpless widow.The governor’s actions are appalling, insensate, disgraceful, indecent, cruel and below board.
It is clear that he does not care much about the well being of the people as he pretentiously avowed.
Our hearts go to that hapless widow in this her time of travails and through her, to other widows who have been oppressed by the unfriendly policies of the administration in Edo State.
The PDP, Edo State will not let any Edo person ‘to go and die’ if it can help it, especially not hardworking people like that widow who are engaged in lawful enterprises that are, in themselves, not easy to carry on.
To this end, our party has instituted an endowment fund for all widows and oppressed people in the state and by this release, we invite the widow captured in the video of the encounter with Governor Oshiomhole to come to the PDP Secretariat on No. 70, Sapele Road, at 11am on Tuesday December 3, 2013 to receive a first-installment sum of N250,000.00 to cushion the pain, trauma and loss occasioned by her mistreatment and the seizure of the items she sells.
Governance is about the people and as a responsible National Institution, Edo PDP cannot be unconcerned about the wrong treatment of indigenes of the state to whom the present administration promised heaven just to win their votes.
We will continue to stand in the gap to ensure that Edo people are deservedly fairly treatment.
If Governor Oshiomhole believes that Edo People sinned by voting him into office, let him remember that he will account for his actions, if not to the people because he apparently does not think much of them, but to God Almighty in the short or long run.
We thank all those who have been humanely concerned about the plight of the widow and have stood out vehemently against the crying shame that was the insensitive action of a governor who seems bent on repaying electoral favor with ingratitude.

I think this issue is being over streched to score cheap poltical points.
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI agree but still he gave his enemies the weapon to use against him. What he did was wrong,I'm glad the poor widow will benefit from the political drama.
DeleteThat's'the bottom line,her shame has been turned around for her tx to oshiomhole
DeleteThe woman don become celebrity oo lol
ReplyDeleteHowever u look at it this simply shows how heartless Gov Oshiomhole is. He should've compensated the woman immediately he realised his mistake. When ur in a position of power sometimes u temper justice with mercy.
ReplyDeleteHe should ve quickly apologised directly to her and not that useless tv apology,the man has no shame,i dont even think he understands the position he holds
DeleteI don't know why u guys are over- flogging this issue, this GOVERNOR HAS ALWAYS SHOWN HE HAS LITTLE OR NO FEAR OF GOD, right from NLC days. Or una dey blind?.
ReplyDeleteMy people take consolation in this saying"those whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad"! That,I think is the case here.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly the case here.
DeleteSo so true!
DeleteEven in the bible God commanded us not to oppress orphans & poor widows.
ReplyDeleteHe has no fear of God & man. We know most people canbe wicked but to publicly dsiplay it so shamelessly is appalling.
ReplyDeleteThe state house of assembly should pass a vote of no confdence on him and throw his out of office. He has disgraced the entire state and shuld be meant to pay for it. Oshiomole is very arrogant and and a dictator.... Juice
ReplyDeleteSeconded! What i find appalling is the aplomb and calm way he spoke to the woman telling her to die and his apology was weak cos he wasn"t angry when he told the woman to die and has no remorse whatsoever
DeleteWhy didn't PDP set up a trust fund for widows in Edo state before this incident? They should go and sit down biko!
ReplyDeleteTrust pdpd to capitalize on the weakness of their "enemy" lol
DeleteI hope the widow gets the PDP money and more sef. The poor woman was just with her load that was well packaged in cartons and was waiting for a taxi or wheel barrow.she wasn't even hawking. Can't believe I stood under the sun to vote for such a dumbass.
