The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Edo State, has
condemned the inhuman
treatment meted out on a
widow by the State
Governor, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole.
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
siezed goods will have on
her.
This was contained in a
press release signed by the
state chairman, Dan Orbih.
PRESS RELEASE
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.
