Edo market women buy N4.7m guber form for Oshiomhole

BENIN—IT was like a triumphant entry yesterday, when Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State arrived the Benin Airport from Abuja, where he had gone to pick his N4.7million governorship form of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, which reportedly purchased for him by market women in the state.
It was difficult for the governor to walk out of the plane due to the crowd, mainly women and youths, who thronged the airport to welcome him.

Oshiomhole stormed the National headquarters of the ACN in Abuja at about 6pm Tuesday to pick his governorship form ahead the July 14, 2012 governorship election in the state.
Addressing the women at the Benin Airport Oshiomhole thanked them for purchasing the form for him, expressing surprise that the form was paid for by the women before he even got to Abuja.
