Joy Ifijeh The Edo Widow Rejected PDP’s N250,000 Gift

Mrs. Joy Ifijeh, the widow who was upbraided by Governor
Adams Oshiomhole for putting her goods on the road,
yesterday shunned the N250,000 gift given by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Nationonline, Mrs Ifijeh was not present at the
launch of an empowerment fund to cater for
widows in the state by the state chapter of the PDP.
The state Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, said they
launched the Widows Empowerment Programme because the
party had received N1
million since it posted the video clip of the governor's
encounter with the widow on facebook and YouTube.
He described the governor's job offer and the cash gift as a
'Greek gift' that would not wipe the tears of widows in the
state.
Orbih presented the N250,000 to Mrs. Pat Erhabor for onward
transmission to Mrs. Ifijeh and made a personal donation of
N50, 000 towards the widows'
fund.
