Aside from the job offer, Oshiomhole also gave the woman  N2million grant for her to get a shop and trade. The governor met with Mrs Ifije today at the Government House and offered her the job which is to join the State’s War Against Indiscipline in the campaign against street trading & to keep the state clean.

"When you put your things on the road a vehicle can run into you and they have killed some people like that and that was why I said if you are a widow do you want more people to be widowed? But when I said go and die, that one was said in a fit of anger. And I am really sorry”, Oshiomhole said.“I want you to join us. We would employ you and pay you salary. You would help us to campaign to other women not to trade on road sides. We should not use poverty as a yardstick.

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole warns Igbinedion: We ’ll bring you to justice

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has warned a Benin High Chief, Gabriel Igbinedion, to desist from undermining the laws in the state as government has the capacity and the will to contain his excesses.

He also asked the state Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) to tender unreserved apology to the people of Edo State for the lapses recorded in the local government election held in the state, last weekend.

Speaking during the swearing-in of 14 newly elected local government chairmen yesterday, the governor said: “There is evidence that he (Igbinedion) has undermined the prosperity of the state for a very long time.

Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. “I want to send a warning to Chief Igbinedion that he should take it easy. He has acquired a lot of government land that the people have not engaged him on. He walks as if he is above the law. I have not looked back because my mandate is to look forward.

“I want to put him on notice that if he continues with elderly rascality, I will bring him to justice. He must never ever underestimate the fact that I have the will and I have the capacity to deploy that will, if he crosses the law he will be cut to size. Elders must teach the younger ones to behave responsibly.”
