Governor Adams Oshiomhole and his wife Iara, at a thanksgiving mass held at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Auchi, on Sunday. With them is Mrs Forte, mother of the governor’s wife.
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has declared that his new wife, Iara, is not into modelling, describing her as a model in his heart.
He also said that Iara is not a replacement for his late wife, Clara whom he said is irreplaceable.
Speaking at a Thanksgiving Mass held at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Auchi, on Sunday, Oshiomhole debunked 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 Comrade has married a ‘top model’ I’m like maybe it’s 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 in my heart and we hope and pray that we will be models in the heart 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 adding that, “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. You cannot replace a wife especially one you married when you were young and you were anonymous.
“We ask for more prayers that this marriage will be my last and that God will help us, unite us and bond us together with the blood of Jesus,” he prayed.
In a homily entitled, “Communicate the truth in Christ,” the Parish Priest of the Immaculate Concpetion Cathedral, Auchi, Reverend Father Valentine Anavbeokhai urged Christians to eschew misrepresenting or twisting the truth in their daily communication, saying we all have a duty and obligation to speak the truth, live the truth and if the need arises, to die for the truth.
He also used the opportunity to congratulate the governor and his new wife and prayed for God’s peace and blessing on them.
