Oshiomhole said that he now regretted the comments which had become the subject of discourse in the social media. The Governor said that he made the comments in anger.
The governor’s apology was made when the leadership of the Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), paid him a courtesy visit in Benin. Continue...
He noted that though the challenge of modern times had bestowed on the shoulders of some women and single mothers the status of bread winners of their homes, such should not be used as an accuse to flout the laws.
The Governor urged the Muslim women leaders to use their offices to propagate the essence of healthy living among children and women in the nation and the need to maintain proper sanitary conditions in their neighbourhoods.
Oshiomhole lamented that the challenge of widowhood had also exposed children to different temptations, adding that there was the need for society to be careful, to avoid unwittingly creating more problems for the nation.
He noted that money was not the best thing that guaranteed ones happiness, “but honesty and selfless service.
The Governor added that if Muslims and Christians were adequately committed to their religious doctrines, the world would be a better place.
He urged the women to propagate the message of Islam through the nooks and crannies of the nation, and to also inculcate the values of honesty in their followers.
Oshiomhole, however, assured the association of government’s support in ensuring that its present leadership made remarkable progress and also consolidated on the successes of their predecessors.
Earlier, the FOMWAN National President, Hajia Amina Omoti, urged the state government to look into the issue of the teaching of Islamic Religious Studies in public schools in the state.
Omoti also solicited for government’s moral and financial support for the effective running of the association.

Tony my friend, I think you rushed the video and you also rushed into conclusion. If you had listened very well you will understand that the lady wasn't a hawker but may be a cab stopped her on that pavement and dropped her well packaged goods their. She was trying to figure out how to carry them out before she was attacked by your governor. In that same video, we saw some hawkers who stood and watched the whole time and they weren't arrested. We shouldn't be blind all in the name of trying to sound different.
Oga she did nt commit any offence. She was not selling her wares on d road. She was waiting for transport. Pls watch d video again. And tell me where d bus park is at mission road whr her goods were seized. In cases like dy arrest d offenders and send dem to mibile court. Bt no our tout gov seized her wares. If u work for him u ll kn dat he has lost his respect in benin. Market women, owners of schools n hotels r heeping curses on him daily. Lets watch n see hw he ll end.
What do you expect from a GAY Governor? He's probably pissed his gay lover *name withheld* jilted him for ATIKU...

I live in benin, and mr adams has made so many synical statement. This is not the first time he is behaving like this in public. The man , but the first time he is apologising, why? Its the first time he is been caught on camera ranting and it went viral. The man talks anyhow, even during interviews, I just sit and marvel. People are really getting to know him, thanks to social media.
He didn't give her 250k oooo. Wrong information the state PDP did. Please.listen well and get your facts straight. Her goods have been displaced no where to be found thanks to the war against discipline WAI.
He apologised on air and not personally to her. Does that change anything?
She wasn't street trading. People really amaze me. She stood on the road waiting for a bus. Are you blind??@ tony. Fine. She shouldn't have been there at that time, wrong timing. But does that warrant a governor a governor! !! To behave like that. The man Is a drama queen trust me. Evil!!!!!!! Workers in the state are about to go on strike. Why. He owes them.
Don't apologize to us. Apologize to the woman and restore to her what you took for insulting her
This dude, who ought to be living in the Congo jungles with his pygmy kith and kin aint seen natin yet!!!
His penchant display of egregious disregard for Edo's downtrodden has been showcased by the cocksucker for the umpteenth time to the utter chagrin of common sanity...
Edo people are still reeling from his insensitive ban on Okada in the state, although other APC states, aside from Lagos, have had no reason to pursue that jackboot route, let alone contemplating it at all....
Tell you...Edo people are waiting for the prime opportunity to do this sonofabitch in!!!!
