- Majority Show No Sympathy to Oshiomhole as He Battles for Survival In Secret London Hospital After Auto Crash
Following revelation that Edo State Governor who was recently involved in an auto crash was secretly flown to London for treatment, some Nigerians have reacted by telling him to ‘go and die’, an ironic reference to the widow the governor told to “go and die” for violating environmental laws in the state!
The News which broke last week saw Nigerians commenting with less than 20 percent sympathasing with him on his misfortune.
Many Edo residents had waited for hours on New Year day, expecting him to make his annual New Year speech as well as visit the hospital, but were disappointed that the Comrade Governor was nowhere to be found. While his media aide have tried to keep his illness secret, Edo residents are angered wondering why a man who claimed to have built modern hospitals will fly abroad for treatment and keep it secret.
Many commentators on the social media said he was only paying the price of what he wished the widow who he spitefully told to “go and die”.
Reacting to reports that Oshiomhole was flown abroad for treatment, a commentator on facebook said “wishing him a fast recovery”, another said “This is a dangerous sign for the season. He told a helpless widow to go and die……now death just showed up. absurdity!”
Many others like Iheanacho were not happy that “None of them can build & equip any Hospital in Nigeria. If they equip the hospital. Can they manage it for how long? Can the doctors and other workers be paid regularly?”
Another named Papi said: “This is a very useless news coming from Nigeria. Why not build hospitals in nigeria rather than fly these people out? I pity none of them. If he was poor, they will abandon him here in Nigeria to die, some animal are more equal than others in Nigeria…”
The governor who is battling for survival in a secret London hospital had earlier told the world through his media aides that he was hale and hearty only for investigation to reveal he was injured in the accident.
A Journalist contacted by this reporter on phone for information simply laughed saying “Fejiro, you don start again abi. So your New Year resolution is to expose Oshiomhole after you have finished with Governor Obi? I heard it first from you guys that he was flown abroad and while it may be true; I cannot confirm that at the moment”.
