Governor Oshiomhole today while
speaking at the thanksgiving Mass at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Auchi
clarified yet another thing. According to the Governor, his wife, Lara Fortes now Mrs Oshiomhole was never a
model and neither is she one at the moment. He also went ahead to say, yes he
has remarried, but his late wife Clara, can never be replaceable. Hear him;
“When I read newspaper stories and
they say that 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”.
“I ask you to please continue to
pray for us. 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. Nobody knew you from anywhere, you had nothing, no car, no house;
now, you can never replace but I understand that under the Catholic doctrine I
am entitled to have another wife which is what I am trying to do’’ he said.
