Family
Parents
Except for his mother, Aishetu Oshiomhole, little is known about Oshiomhole’s parents. In Edo, Hajiya Aishetu Oshiomhole is one of the most formidable women. She is one of the most admired women and lives in Auchi, Edo State. Despite being the mother of a popular politician, it was claimed that she declined the present from the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, who had a strained relationship with the former starter governor, Adams Oshiomhole. Nevertheless, she and her son have been spotted at numerous events and ceremonies. According to news sources, she is a strong mom who has shown her kid a lot of support.
Children
Only two of the five children Clara Oshiomhole and Adams had before she passed are known to the general public. However, Dr. Cyril Oshiomhole, Oshiomhole’s first son, has unmistakably adopted his father’s political stance. As co-founder of the Clara Oshiomhole foundation and a physician, Dr. Cyril Oshiomhole is also an environmentalist. In addition to his environmental health master’s degree, he has a background in toxicology, terrorism, and disaster management. At Harvard University, he completed his Masters in Postgraduate Studies in Clinical Research.
Previously, he ran for a governmental position in Nigeria’s Edo State. Then, with the APC flag flying, Dr. Cyril ran for the position of Member of the House of Representatives on behalf of the Etsaka Federal Constituency. However, after giving in to pressure, the young politician who was running for the seat in the APC gave it to another candidate.
The daughter of Adams Oshiomhole is Jane Oshiomhole. In Abuja’s Maitama neighborhood, inside the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, she wed Achimugu Ahmodu Aduku, her husband. But, besides that, nothing more is known about her.
Wife
The former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, is married to Lara Fortes Oshiomhole. They married after his first wife died from cancer on May 15, 2015. A few of Nigeria’s most prominent figures, including President Muhammadu Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, attended the wedding of the ex-governor Oshiomhole, who is nearly 30 years her senior. Together, they have a child, according to reports. A Cape Verdean father and a Nigerian mother gave birth to Lara. She worked as a model, a lawyer, and an employee of Emirate Airlines personnel in the past.
