‘Go & Die Widow’ May Become Edo First Lady

If all permutations work in favour of Mrs. Joy Ifijie, the widow upbraided by the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, some days ago, she might eventually end up as the First Lady of the state. Mrs. Ifijie is beautiful and good to behold.

Mrs. Ifijie’s matter generated sympathy when Oshiomhole reportedly asked her to “go and die” when she was caught breaking a traffic/trade law. Oshiomhole came under harsh criticism for him comment to the poor widow, which went virile in the social media penultimate week.

The opposition party in Edo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), reportedly used the incident to score political point, but the Governor was very smart as he quickly apologised to the woman. He even went ahead to invite the woman to the Government House in Benin City and gave her the sum of N2 Million. Mrs Ifijie was also made the Special Assistant to the Governor on Environmental Matters.

However, some Nigerians have suggested to the Governor to marry Mrs. Ifijie since he is a widower, having lost his wife to cancer few years ago.

Now that the widow is close to Oshiomhole with a juicy appointment as one of his aides, it is believed that a romantic bond might erupt between the duo as the woman is still young and beautiful. Some people have said that the coming together of Oshiomhole and Mrs. Ifijie might be divine.

If the Governor bows to public pressure and decides to pick the widow as his wife, Mrs. IIfijie might eventually turned Mrs Oshiomhole, which will automatically make her the First Lady of Edo State.
