Gov. Fashola deports Nigerians who are Ibos to Iboland, Gov. Oshiomole tells a helpless widow to go & die… is APC really a better option?

Only thing missing from that Oshiomole clip is him in a military uniform. #Democrazy

Is anyone going 2 even address Governor Oshiomole’s appalling behavior or it’s just going to be another social media noise and nothing else?

And I don’t care if Oshiomole has turned/is turning/wants to turn Edo State into California. This is the height of irresponsibility.

Widows are not well treated in Nigeria and @Oshiomhole‘s action only validated it! http://t.co/boIW7gOO7Y

Oshiomole reminds us all of why social crusaders should NEVER cross the divide. Now, aren’t we glad Gani Fawehinmi didn’t win?

Oshiomole reminds me of Fidel Castro. Oshiomole came into governance with good intentions, Power corrupted him. He became a dictator.
