What a shame! Gov Oshiomhole tells a crying widow to 'go and die'!

"You're a widow, go and die!" That's what Governor Adams Oshiomhole said to widow during a sanitation exercise of Benin City with some state officials recently. The woman was hawking on the road side which is illegal in the state but to tell her to go and die after she knelt in front of him, crying and begging him not to seize her little means of livelihood, is just cold-hearted.

Shame on you Mr Governor! I'm so mad at the way he treated this woman. Wasn't he once a labour leader? Are these the kind of leaders we have? No compassion, no kindness? What a damn shame! See the video after the cut...

    This is not good but being a leader requires one to take drastic actions sometimes....its not easy being a leader and we can't always get it right all the time. I am very sure these hawkers has been warned on several occassions before the governor decided to confront them himself so we won't him completely, he's human and is bound to make mistakes

    Power intoxicate and Absolute Power intoxicate. Though, to an extent I can't blame the Gov for his stiff action because he knows his people very well, hence, the stubbornness they showed taking govt warning with levity. But that word was too much,he might have said it out of annoyance and absent minded. I'm not making case for him, but I believed he will definitely realise this mistake he made in his statement. Like, I want to corroborate with Mr. Solomon, he is human hence he is susceptible to mistakes. Afterall he never asked that the woman should be whisked away, that's would have been very severe on the woman. May GOD guide our Leaders aright.

    How can a governor, an elected governor in a democratic state tell a widow to go and die all because she is just trying to survive. Oshiomhole's show of shame

    Power really intoxicate. A former union leader who hold government to ransom now telling a hungry widow to go and die. Shame and pity is all I can say.
