The widow whose humiliation at the hands of Gov. Oshiomole shook Nigeria believes it all turned out for good. She said ‘I thank God that used Oshiomhole to help me, I am not angry with him. I heard that the PDP said they want to give me money, I don’t need any money again and they should stop using me to campaign. I am okay with what Oshiomhole gave me. I think that if the PDP is genuinely serious about helping widows, they should give that money to another widow in Edo State.’
According to her, her son already had a premonition of the incident.
‘my son had a dream that I had an encounter with Oshiomhole. In that dream my son saw that I went to the market and had an encounter with Oshiomhole. My son was staying with a Rev. Father that day and he told the Rev.Father about his dream. He said the Father told him that maybe God wants to bless his mother.’
When asked if she was afraid when she got the summon from Oshiomole, she said, ‘Up till now I am still scared. I just said, ‘whatever wants to happen, let it happen’ As a matter of fact, the fear started when I saw the governor behind me. I noticed that somebody was behind me at the market and I was trying to push him so that I will have space to carry my goods, not knowing that it was the governor. I was shocked when I looked at his face and that was when I started shouting ‘God, this is Oshobaba’ and I knelt down immediately and started begging him to forgive me.’
