“I Supported My Son To Marry A Foreigner” – Adams Oshiomole’s Mum

Hajia Aishetu, the mother of recently married Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole told the Saturday Vanguard why she supported her son to marry a non-Nigerian.

On May 15, 2015, the Governor, popularly known as Comrade Oshiomole exchanged marital vows with his Cape Verdean heartthrob, former Miss Iara Fortes who is a lawyer.

According to the Vanguard;

Investigation showed that the governor shunned the idea of marrying Nigerian woman in order not to create crisis in his family.

His mother, Hajia Aishetu told Vanguard that “I supported him to marry a foreigner so that the relationship between my son and his children will remain cordial.
“Our Nigerian women will go and destroy the family just because they want property. “That was the main reason I supported him to marry a foreigner when he told me about it. So I am happy about it.
“Besides, the new wife is a very good woman.”

Speaking of comrade’s late wife, Hajia Aishetu described her attributes, likening Iara to her.
She said: “She behaves like Comrades late wife. Very accommodating, understanding and hard working.
“And you know my son travels a lot as a governor. He needs a woman who understands his work and that is the kind of wife he married.
“She is just like Clara. Normally, people spend two years or less before they marry again but Comrade decided to wait for five years due to the love he had for his late wife.
“And Clara was a good person, very lovely and nice to all of us. So we supported Comrade for taking time to re-marry because we loved Clara.
“Comrade and the former wife lived very happily, there was no quarrel, nothing at all and that was why he mourned for five years.
“I am happy that he brought a wife that will bring him and the children together”.

  • Yes I like the idea cos it takes only the grace of God to see a Nigerian woman that is not materialistic and fighting for the hubby wealth. If that’s the reason it quite understandable.

  • It’s true that part she said a Nigerian woman will try and destroy the family instead of bringing family together. All the best to them.

  • A mum will always support his son in public.l wouldnt expect her to say otherwise.Besides,his son is a grown man
