Leave My Father Alone – Oshiomole Daughter Blasts Nigerians

The euphoria about the much talked about wedding between Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole and his his Cape-Verdian wife, Lara Fortes is yet to die down as the issue has since been a major discourse on social media platforms

The wedding which witnessed the presence of the high and mighty in Nigeria, was not graced by the children of the ‘comrade-governor’ as Oshiomole is fondly governor called which sparked rumours of the governor’s children not in support of their father’s decision.

The rumour has now been disputed as one of the governor’s children, Winifred Isimakhome Oshiomhole, has given her opinion on the wedding and also reacted to the negative comments from some Nigerians.

She went ahead to explain why she and other family members didn’t grace the occasion. In a phone interview with Metro Naija, when she was asked about the marriage, She said; ”I think my father has finally gotten the heart to move on and Nigerians should learn to respect his decision. I saw so many bad comments and My question is, this people don’t even know half of the story and they just go about writing ignorantly”

On her absence at the wedding, She said, “The information for the day was not properly circulated, I would say I was busy taking care of my life, work and my family and I must have missed out on the plan, I cannot say for the rest of my sisters but I am sure we were not properly informed. I wish the couple a great married life and I am sure she will make my father happy”.

Describing his wife, Governor Oshiomole told Vanguard that, “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.

The marriage of the latest couple in town was held yesterday at the Etsako West Local Government Council Marriage Registry, Auchi, while the reception took place at Oshiomhole’s country home in Iyamho.

Meanwhile, popular fuji musician, Pasuma has dedicated his new song to Governor Oshionole and his new wife. The song had been ready for a while, but it was delayed because the musician decided to dedicate it to the Governor and his new wife.
