Don’t be fooled, my wife is only a model in my heart, says Oshiomhole

Contrary to widespread thinking that Lara, the new wife of Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, is a top model, the comrade has dispelled this, stating that she is only a model in his heart.

Oshiomhole, who made this known at a special thanksgiving mass held at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Auchi in honour of the new couple, added that Lara was not a replacement for his late wife, Clara.

The mass was attended by the governor’s children – Steve, Jane and Adams (Jnr.); the parents of his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Fortes, as well as other dignitaries.

The governor debunked media reports that his new wife “is a top model,” a speculation he said might have been generated because of her “poise and beauty.”

On the loss of his first wife, Oshiomhole said, “I lost my first wife and it is not possible to replace her. Yes, I have married another, but it is not a replacement”.

The couple has also postponed their honeymoon due to the inauguration of Muhammadu Buhari as president on May 29, but will proceed to the honeymoon after the inauguration.
