BENIN—GOVERNOR
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has said that his new wife, Iara, was not a model
professionally, although she is a model to him. He, meanwhile, said his new
wife was not a replacement for his late wife, Clara, whom he said was
irreplaceable.
Speaking at a thanksgiving Mass at the Immaculate Conception
Cathedral, Auchi, yesterday, Oshiomhole denied reports that his wife is a ‘top
model,’ saying the speculation might have been generated from her poise and
beauty.
He said: “When I read newspaper stories and they said that I
married a top model, I felt maybe they were referring to another person.
“The lady that God has directed to my path and heart to
marry is not and was not a model. Of course, she looks beautiful and I
understand that is why people assume that this kind of a lady must be a model.
But, of course, she is a model to me and we hope and pray that we will be
models in the eyes of our God and I think that is the most important thing.”
Governor Oshiomhole appealed to the congregation to keep
supporting him and his new wife in prayer, saying: “I ask you to please
continue to pray for us. It is not easy. I lost my first wife and it is not
possible to replace her. Yes, I have married another but it is not a
replacement.”
