New Photos of Governor Adams Oshiomhole and Wife Iara

Residents of Second East Circular Road in Benin, the Edo State capital, and environs, yesterday trooped out to catch a glimpse of the governor’s wife, Mrs Iara Oshiomhole. She accompanied Governor Adams Oshiomhole to inspect the construction of the road.

It was her first public appearance in Benin since they got married last month. Mrs Oshiomhole performed her first function at Okpekpe, when she presented a cheque to one of the winners of the long distance race.

According to eyewitnesses, several motorists alighted from their vehicles to see the governor’s wife; several others cheered as she waved back. Oshiomhole told reporters that the residents had demanded to see his wife when he inspected the road the previous week. He said:

“When I came here, many of them were asking, ‘Where is the First Lady?’ Some said they thought I would be on honeymoon. I promised them I would come with her. She is here so that she can have an idea of what we are doing in this city and to know what we are yet to do.”
