Beennkumar: Hmmm, a single careless statement just made the woman a millioniare.

egift: God bless the Man-Of-The-People! PDP could not even manage a free opportunity. Gov. Adams keep up the good work.

berem: you have forgotten so fast that when people get old,their brains revert to that of a 3 years old child. So sad!

PDP made a mistake by trying to politicize the whole incident by giving the widow money. Oshiomole has shamed his political enemies by given her 2 million naira. So who's laughing best?
Good gesture by Oshiomole.

AdekunleBalogun: I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt down to beg whenI realized I was face to face with the Governor’’.

berem:
Are you from Edo state, NO!

Is the money not meant for Edo people? Yes it is!
Is she an Edo woman,yes she is!

Does she pay taxes? Yes she does!

Why are you drinking water for another person's thirst?

Black Human: Now this proves there's something called DESTINY or FATE.....if u have a good one, there's no stopping u in life.

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Monday donated two million naira to a widow he allegedly insulted while on an inspection tour of the state.

The widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, who was invited to the Edo Government House by the governor, was also offered automatic employment by Oshiomhole.

Oshiomhole had invited the widow to personally apologise to her over his uncomplimentary remark that had generated controversies in the conventional and social media in the last few weeks.

‘’ 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, but sometimes you get angry when people compromise your efforts.’’

He said that government was trying to change the face of the state capital by doing its best to make the city beautiful.

The governor said that it was frustrating and bad for some people to truncate government efforts.

He stressed that trading on the road and walk ways could hinder free flow of traffic as well as cause accidents.

Oshiomhole, therefore, appeal to the widow to join in the campaign against road and walkways trading.

The governor said that exposing consumables to unhygienic sanitary conditions could also cause ”disease and pose dangerous health hazards to humans”.

Oshiomhole, who also announced the automatic employment to the widow, said that the employment would help her ease the burden of widowhood and give her children good and proper education.

He further assured the widow that his family would assist the widow’s second child in furthering his education, while also appealing to her to resist the temptation of law breaking.

The widow had earlier apologized to the governor for her action, saying ‘’ I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt down to beg when I realized I was face to face with the Governor’’.

She promised to work with the state government in its campaign against street trading and obstruction.

She also promised to make judicious use of the money donated to her by the governor.

A gesture too late. The damage is done already

Wareva..........no amount of money can clean off such public mess.........stone age gov....u shud be informed nw that ur phone can do more that texting n calling.......internet is nw in vogue and widely used......cos u may out of anger atempt To Molest or commit other inhuman acts.....jst do it off camera....I lost the much respect I av for u the moment I saw that degrading Footage...... A leader has to be careful no mater the situation....if u try that in a developed country....u wud av probably been force to bid ur political career bye.....compensating the helpless widow with state money will never erase ur ruthlessness from the mind of pple.......

ilugunboy:

Not so fast...I won't allow you to use blackmail to silence me!.

1. I strongly condemned the statement he made..

2. He is human first before being a governor....unfortunately he was a bit overboard and allowed his emotion to get hold of him in a momentary loss of mind

3. He has humbled himself enough to offer an unconditional apology and in the process helping the woman to live a more comfortable and dignified life.

4. You Afam failed to see the positive outcome of the incidence...but want to hold on to the sad part...because it furthers your interest as a PDP sympathizer
