Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo has shown constant benevolence towards less privileged residents of his state.
The governor recently gave a widow N2 million and awarded her son a scholarship. He also extended an offer of a government sponsored education to Daniel Ihekhina, a teenager who stowed away on an Arik flight last year.
Governor Oshiomhole’s generosity has again become a subject of discussion as he gave a plantain hawker a cheque for N1 million yesterday during an inspection of the New Benin market.
Do you think the governor has gone too far?
Yes he has! When will Nigerians stop the habit of throwing money around. Rubbish! Is it N1 million he should be giving her? What about the millions of other plaintain chips sellers? They should just bloody well create enabling systems for education, job creation and health.
