Iyamho community in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State 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.
The Governor’s mother, Hajia Aishetu Oshiomhole was on hand to show love and support to her son and in a new chat with Vanguard has revealed that she actually advised her son to shun the idea of marrying a Nigerian woman in order not to create crisis in his family.
Hajia Aishetu told Vanguard: “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”.
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. -

I do not think that Bashiru Itameso is a Nigeria. You people are planning how to kill Oshiomhole by asking him to marry a foreigner so that you can loot his properties.

i understand u mama, but how are u sure this woman is not after his property as well, we still have many good women in Nigerian, i have lived with foreigners for so many years so i know that they are not free from what u are accusing the Nigerian women of, the truth is, Oshomohle prefer to be with light skin women since lost his wife bcos i knew of 2 light skin Nigerian women he date before he met this his new wife. i guess he want to change the black complexion in his family. lol
