Oshiomole gives girl hawking plantain chips N1million cheque

Adams Oshiomole, Edo state governor allegedly gave out a cheque to a child hawker at New Benin by Total filling station in Benin City, yesterday.

Report according to a blogger, Stella Dimokokorkus, the Governor and his entourage were passing by and as usual, he was on foot, while his cars were on the move when some children hawking (with their goods on their heads), got scared and took to their heels.

However, a little girl hawking Plantain chips stood still and greeted the governor instead of joining others to escape.

Stunned by her boldness, Gov. Oshiomole allegedly walked up to her, brought out his pen and wrote her a cheque of one million naira.

Excitedly, she threw her plantain chips away and began to scream with joy, and at same time thanking the governor for his kindness and generosity.
It will be recalled that the governor showed similar kind gesture to a widow he earlier condemned while on an official duty.
