Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo was recently in the news for telling a widow to “Go and Die”.

The governor, however “made amends” for his act by dining with the widow and giving her a gift of N2 million.

The former labour leader has again courted controversy after reports that he gave a plantain hawker in the state a cheque for N1 million.

Nigerians have reacted to the incident via Twitter and here are the top 10 reactions:
