Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole’s wife, Her Excellency, Mrs. Lara Oshiomhole has finally opened up on the hot tale in town that her marriage has crashed and she filed for divorce. She issued a statement on the matter through the Executive Director, Media and Publicity in the Edo State Governor’s Office, Mike Mayaki…

“Ordinarily, we would have seen no need to join issues with the merchants of rumours whose stocks-in-trade is to malign public figures, but for the need to allay the fears of those who might have been misled by their devious garbage. We are compelled to clear the air before this careless, utterly reckless, unethical and irresponsible journalism becomes an epidemic. “Which court of law was the alleged divorce initiated and to whom was it served? Which country, state, municipal or county, if any, where is the court situated? And when was the action or suit filed? Of course, the writers didn’t bother to inform their readers. The truth, however, is that the answers only exist in the warped imagination of the purveyors of the lies.

“The fact is: Mrs. Lara Oshiomhole is enjoying her marriage. She will never file for divorce, and there is clearly no basis for it. Mrs. Oshiomhole was in her office throughout the week holding meetings and brainstorming on how to better the lots of the less privileged, women and children in the state through her project, ‘We Care Trust’. She also had the opportunity to accompany her beloved husband, the Comrade Governor, on project inspection; including inspecting the world-class new Central Hospital, which is ongoing in Benin City; some erosion control sites and some road construction sites.”
