WHY HE ASKED FOR IARA’S HAND IN MARRIAGE

Amid the controversy trailing his choice of a lady half his age, Governor Oshiomhole has finally opened up on why he chose to spend the rest of his life with ravishingly beautiful Iara Fortes.

Speaking to newsmen after his wedding ceremony on Friday (May 15), he expressed joy with his family for the support given to him to remarry.

The comrade governor began with appreciation of his guests…

“This is something that one is happy about. I am also happy that I have friends across all political divide. The occasion reminds me that across all divides, we have friends and well-wishers”.

He then unveiled Iara…

“She is very humble, she appreciates the nature of my job and life that I return home late, some times 3am. She understands my weaknesses, she is more or less the mother of the house, the one that has accepted to be the mother of my children.

“I am happy that all my children are at home with her and accept her as their mother even though she is not old enough to be their mother. She has accepted to fill that gap” he said.

MY WIFE NOT A MODEL

It is true Iara is from Cape Verde, the tiny Island off West African coast. It’s also true she’s a lawyer and a former air hostess. But  she is not a model. Clarifying this at a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, his husband wondered why the media insist she’s a model simply because of her physique and beauty. He, however said she is a model at heart.

THEIR LOVE STORY

ENCOMIUM Weekly gathered that Gov Oshiomhole met Iara Fortes on one his overseas trips. An air hostess with Emirates Airlines, it was on their aircraft (where the Governor flew first class) they both met, exchanged phone numbers and hit it off from there.

The lovebirds, we were further informed, have actually been dating quietly with Iara sneaking into the country and exiting unnoticed.
