GOV. OSHIOMHOLE LASHED BY PDP, AND PROMISED TO GIVE ABUSED WIDOW N250,000
The
People’s Democratic Party, PDP, branch in Edo state has reportedly come to the
help of the widow who was told by the state’s governor, Adams Oshiomole to “go
and die”.
A press release signed by the Edo state PDP chairman, Dan Orbih,
reads:
“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 helpless 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.”
