Governor Adams Oshiomole splashes N14million on seven widows

Governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo state today donated N14million (N2million each) to seven police officer's widows who died in the line of duty. Addressing the women, the governor said he was moved by their plight as well as the great service their husbands gave to the state. He also announced that N500,000 would be given to each of the children of the seven police officers.

The Governor said he hoped this act would help spur other police officers who are still in active force to be more dedicated to their duties so that posterity would remember them for good.

    Wow! This is an oustanding Governor. You can tell even though his wife has passed away he still appreciates her. Some idiotics governors would rather spend such amount on their girlfriends despite their wives still alive. I just wish his wife was alive she would have been enjoying this tenure of her been 1st lady of the state along side her husband's post. May your daughters end up with responsible husbands that will appreciate them for who they are and make them happy for the rest of their lives and may God reward you accordingly in Jesus name. It is well!

    Good move from Adams Oshiomole. But if he wants more dedication from the active officers he ll get it not from what he does for their wives when they are dead but how much improvement he s brought to them (their lives) when they are still living.
    Like I earlier said, this is a very fantastic gesture that even the FG should emulate or practice often especially for the Military and Air Force officers.
