You might say whatever you like but I call this too much money. Well you
will not believe it but Mrs. Joy Ifijeh, the widow that was told by Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State to ‘go and die’ for breaking traffic law, has
rejected the offer of N250, 000 by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Edo
State chapter.
According to her, she is satisfied with the apologies, job offer and
N2m extended to her by Governor Oshiomole. Mrs Ifijeh, fondly called ‘Go and die widow’, on the social media,
further disclosed that she doesn’t want to be used as a pawn by the PDP on the
dashboard of politics, advising the party to give the said money to another
widow instead.
Mrs. Ifijeh stated this during the presentation of her letter of
appointment into the Edo State War Against Indiscipline at the Government House
in Benin City, December 3, 2013.
“I want to thank Oshiomhole sincerely for this appointment and I wish to state
that I have forgiven him from the bottom of my heart. And for the money
promised me by PDP, let them give it to other widows. I do not need the money,”
Mrs. Ifijeh avowed.
Mr. Kassim Afegbua, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and
Strategy, said during the presentation of the appointment letter that the
gesture was in fulfilment of Comrade Oshiomhole’s promise to offer the widow
employment into the service of the Government.
The Adviser added that the appointment was effective from 3rd
December, 2013, stressing that she would be expected to resume and conform with
the ethics of her position.
