Ifije with her son, Bright and Gov. Oshiomhole |
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.
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.
