It was glitz, glamour and a list of who-is-who in the
country was in attendance as Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Friday,
exchanged marital vows with his heartthrob, former Miss Iara Fortes.
The governor and his bride signed the dotted lines at a
private marriage registry attended only by family and a few friends at his
Iyamho residence after which top dignitaries in the country were led by the
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to the wedding reception held at the
People’s White Hall in the governor’s
country home.
Parents of the bride, Mr and Mrs Fortes flew in from
their home in the Netherlands to attend the ceremony while the governor’s
mother, Aishetu Oshiomhole, was also in attendance.
The governor’s children Steve, Adams, Jane and two of his
grandchildren were also on hand to show love and support for their father and
his wife.
The governor’s marriage is coming about five years after
the painful death of his first wife, Clara, following a protracted battle with
cancer.
Iara, a lawyer by profession and top model, is from the
Cape Verde Islands. She is a former staff of Emirate Airlines, and is in her
early thirties, aides of the governor say.
The chairman of the ceremony, former Head of State,
Yakubu Gowon, said the governor’s wife completes and complements him and he
admonished the couple to show true love and have patience in their dealings
with one another.
