became the envy of the Nigeria last Friday, May 15, 2015, when the
Comrade Governor of Edo state, Adams Aliyu Eric Oshiomhole exchanged
marital vows with his heartthrob, former Miss Iara Fortes, a lawyer
from Cape Verde.
It would be recalled that Oshiomhole's first wife, Clara lost the
protracted battle with cancer on December 7, 2010, just two years
after her husband became governor of Edo state.
Vanguard investigation showed that the governor shunned the idea of
marrying Nigerian woman in order not to create crisis in his family.
His mother, Hajia Aishetu told Vanguard that "I supported him to marry
a foreigner so that the relationship between my son and his children
will remain cordial. Our Nigerian women will go and destroy the family
just because they want property.
" That was the main reason I supported him to marry a foreigner when
he told me about it. So I am happy about it. Besides, the new wife is
a very good woman. She behaves like Comrades late wife.
Very accommodating, understanding and hard working. And you know my
son travels a lot as a governor. He needs a woman who understands his
work and that is the kind of wife he married. She is just like Clara.
Normally, people spend two years or less before they marry again but
Comrade decided to wait for five years due to the love he had for his
late wife. And Clara was a good person, very lovely and nice to all of
us. So we supported Comrade for taking time to re-marry because we
loved Clara. Comrade and the former wife lived very happily, there was
no quarrel, nothing at all and that was why he mourned for five years.
I am happy that he brought a wife that will bring him and the children
together".
Also speaking, the traditional ruler of Iyamho community, HRH Bashiru
Itameso, who equally is a cousin to the Comrade Governor, said "I was
happy seeing him remarry. I am happy because I never wanted him to
marry a Nigerian because our people are wicked. I prefer it that he
married a foreigner. If he had married a Nigerian, in-laws will come
and start troubling him. They will start tearing themselves apart for
materials things and that will create serious problem between
Comrade and his children. We all supported him to marry a foreigner".
