MEET THE RAYNER GODDARD OF EDO STATE, NIGERIA: ADAMS OSHIOMHOLE



         On this date, July 4, 2013, Adams Oshiomhole, the Governor of Edo State, Nigeria spoke at the second annual seminar on the “Role of Public Complaints Commission in a democratic Nigeria’ organized by the Public Complaint Commission, in Abuja, the governor maintained that anyone who deliberately kill another deserves the capital punishment.

We, the comrades of Unit 1012, encourage the Head of States around the world to learn from Adams Oshiomhole, the Governor of Edo State, Nigeria. He signed the death warrants for two murderers and had them hanged by the neck till dead on June 24, 2013. Altogether 4 murderers were hanged in Nigeria that day, but the other two were hanged in other states in the country.

Adams Oshiomhole courageously spoke out in defense of the death penalty at the second annual seminar on the “Role of Public Complaints Commission in a democratic Nigeria’ organized by the Public Complaint Commission, in Abuja on July 4, 2013.

We, the comrades of Unit 1012, feel that he should be nicknamed: ‘The Rayner Goddard of Edo State, Nigeria’. To add more icing to the cake, Adams Oshiomhole signed the death penalty law for kidnapping on October 18 that year.

Congratulations, Governor! You rightfully deserve the Rayner Goddard Act of Courage Award.

 
Adams Oshiomhole
