Since Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, lost his first wife to the cold hands of cancer in December 2010, he has been living life as it comes.
However, the internet went abuzz few hours ago when it was learnt that, the former labour leader turned politician was about getting married to a beautiful damsel.
The governor in 2013, while celebrating his fifth year in office as the governor, had enumerated reasons why he is not considering re-marrying after the death of his wife.
“Any woman who agrees to marry a man who is not rich, a man who alternates between police stations and cells and lives in a one or two bedroom apartment that is your real love. When my wife [Clara] said I love you, it was from her heart,” Oshiomhole said.
Well, it turns out the 63-year-old governor has met his heartthrob who has overthrown his decision of not re-marrying. He is set to re-marry on Friday, May 15, 2015, five years after the death of his first wife, Clara.
Here are some few things you did not know about governor Oshiomhole’s beautiful damsel.
1. The name of the damsel is Lara Fortes, an Ethiopian who is in her 30s.
2. Miss Fortes is a former model and air hostess.
3. She was the governor’s casual friend before marriage talks came into the picture. This is because she was once spotted with the governor at the 50th birthday party of Grace Ihonvbere, wife of the secretary to the state government, Julius Ihonvbere, on March 21, in Abuja.
The wedding is slated for 10.am at the Etsako West Local Government Council Marriage Registry in the Auchi area of the state, while the reception will take place at the governor’s country home in Iyamho.
