Still angered by the altercation
between Edo State Governor, Adams
Oshiohmole and Mrs Joy Ifije, a
widow reprimanded by the governor
two weeks ago, on a video displayed
on the social media, the state chapter
of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has declared that the N2 million
offered the widow was not enough to
wipe off the shame the governor
visited on her.
The governor in the posted video used
harsh words on the widow allegedly
caught by law enforcing agents on
Mission Road, Benin, obstructing
road users with her wares, but on
Monday apologised to her.
Oshiomhole, apart from empowering
the woman with N2 million, also
employed her as a member of the
state task force against street
trading.
However, the Edo State PDP
chairman, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, in an
exclusive interview with Saturday
Independent, described the governor
as an imposter who reflected his true
character through his reaction to the
woman.
He said: “We came up with the video
of what transpired 14 days after the
event took place. We gave the
governor enough time to show
remorse but he never did. He told the
poor woman to ‘go and die’. It is too
bad that such words could be altered
by the governor.
“We are worried and we are of the
opinion that anybody in office as
governor should show his certificate
of sound mental health before he gets
certificate of return in future from the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC).
“Again, it took our initiative to issue a
statement in the media, offering the
woman N250,000 to empower her as
part of our widow endowment fund
before the governor turned around to
invite her to his office and give her N2
million. Money cannot wipe off the
shame and humiliation caused her by
Oshiomhole.
“Even when the governor was
presenting the N2 million cheque to
her, she was subjected to another
cruel humiliation by making her to go
on her knees. In our culture, it is the
person that wronged another fellow
that should kneel down begging for
forgiveness, not the fellow that was
wronged.”
Reacting in a separate interview, the
Edo State Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, Henry
Idahagbon said: “The Edo PDP is out
of tune with reality. They are playing
God. I was a member of the National
Executive Council (NEC) of PDP, so I
can say much about the party and
Orbih. It may interest you know that
he suffers from verbal diarrhoea.
“We all saw the altercation between
the governor with the widow.
However, being a democrat, humane
and humble person, he acknowledged
and apologised that what he said
was influenced by anger, and he
compensated the woman. To err is
human and to forgiveness is divine.
“The altercation was not a reflection
of the character of the governor. Show
me that Nigerian that has not said
worst things in a fit of anger?
Governor Oshiomhole comes from the
same circumstance with the widow.
He believes that when the taxpayers’
money has been expended on
infrastructure meant for pedestrians,
it is illegal for people to convert such
to street trading.”
“He has about five orphans he has
adopted as his children living with
him in government house. He takes
care of them, so he is not a wicked
person. He is a kind hearted father,”
said the commissioner.

Have PDP compensated and apologized Nigerians for the comment "I Don't Give A Dam"?

PDP o APC o you should all go and die

Now that PDP could not woo the woman to its side with N250,000,they have resorted to blackmail.
It's clear PDP wanted to use Oshio's mistake to win votes,they care not about the widow but care more about what they stand to get in terms of votes if they had succeeded in achieving their aim

This is really getting disgusting. I doubt any of these parties genuinely care about the woman in question. All they're doing is using her to win a point with the masses. If this incidence wasn't caught on tape, it will in no way gain all these notoriety.

These politicians abuse power everyday! I've heard of situation where they send out they Body guards to attack and beat up anyone who tries to slow down their convoys. But there's no video as proof.

2 million can wipe alot of things including Shame.
If you don't believe me Try giving me 2 million
and see wiping things.

To be honest,it's really bad for d governor to use such language.but let's give him another chance. I personally like oshiomole and his goverment.but i hate his party.I HATE APC

pdp is a loser, crying when their effort 2 take advantage of d situation has failed.

9jii.:
2 million can wipe alot of things including Shame.
If you don't believe me Try giving me 2 million
and see wiping things.
