According to them, their meeting each other was divine, and they
think, both parties should embrace the opportunity. One said Oshiomhole
is a widower while Mrs Joy Ifile is also a widow and so both should
marry.
Albert Ashipa, a politician in the state, said, “I am of the opinion and
conviction that the meeting and the incident between the governor and
the widow, which later attracted public attention, was divine. As we can
see today, the governor felt for the woman, had to apologize over the
error and even empowered her.”
“From my own opinion, I think God has a purpose for the two of them
and there is nothing wrong if the two eventually fall in love, in view
of their marital positions. I believe both cannot and should not remain
single parents for life,” Adunni Eweje, a petty trader in Kuto market
said.
Razaq Ayinla, a civil servant, while commending the governor for his
gesture, concurred that the development was God’s doing and advised both
the governor and the woman to make good use of the opportunity.
Adesola Adenopo, a resident of Government Reservation Area (GRA) in
Abeokuta, in her reaction, noted that biblically, it is appropriate for
the two of them to re-marry.
Also commenting, Olanrewaju Dasaolu, a hotelier gave kudos to the governor, for realizing his error and correcting himself.
