The interim publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lai Mohammed, has come to the rescue of the Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, who is currently the object of a public outcry following his remarks asking a widow to ‘go and die.’

Recently, a video which showed the governor ordering the seizure of some goods belonging to a resident of the state, who was allegedly a road side hawker, caused a furore on social media which was reported in the dailies.

Governor Oshiomhole had asked that the woman’s goods be confiscated for breaking traffic laws but upon hearing her pleas for mercy on grounds that she was a widow, the Governor said “you are a widow, go and die.”



This statement caused a backlash from citizens both within and outside Nigeria.

Commenting on this while speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise, on Saturday, Mr Mohammed said “running a state is not about popularity but about doing the right thing.”

“In doing so, you are probably going to step on certain toes,” he said, adding that his experience in government gives him knowledge that harsh decisions will be taken.

Asked if the Governor’s comment was justified, he said, “No. I’m just saying that in some circumstances, you take decisions which are very unpleasant.”

My brother, APC have 160 million mouths, the problem is that the gullible masses have 160 million ears to listen to their trash everytime they change mouth and postion like liars that they are.

APC means confusion and distraction. GEJ is doing a good job of ignoring them.

I watched the clip, he answered 'NO' when he was asked whether the comment made by the governor is justified.

Lie Muhammed should GO AND DIE..

This liar Mohammed self, does being a publicity secretary means u must support even devil in ur party. Nigerians self.

Another reason to stick my asss with PDP. Day in day out these aggrieved people give me reasons to believe that Jonathan will win 2015 election without much stress.

Why won't he defend him?. After all, heartless birds of the same feather flocks together. Inhumane cantakerous mórons!!
