Getting married in later years is now seemingly acceptable and Nigerian leaders are no exception.
Naij.com puts together a list of top Nigerian leaders and politicians who got married this year, many of which came at old age.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole
On Friday, May 15, the Internet went abuzz with reports that Governor Adams Oshiomhole had tied the knot with a beautiful damsel from Cape Verde, Iara Fortes.
This coming five years after the death of his first wife, Clara after a long battle with cancer.
Oshiomhole and Fortes tied the knot in Etsako West local government council marriage registry in the Auchi area of Edo state, while the reception was staged at the governor’s country home in Iyamho.
The wedding which witnessed the presence of the dignitaries in Nigeria (President Muhammadu Buhari inclusive), was however not graced by the children of the ‘comrade-governor’ as Oshiomole is fondly called, which sparked rumours of the governor’s children not in support of their father’s decision.
The rumour was however dismissed as one of the governor’s children, Winifred Isimakhome Oshiomhole explained why she didn’t attend the wedding.
Iara Forte, a Cape Verde national, and former air hostess at Emirate Airlines, is in her early thirties, aides of the governor say, while Oshiomhole is 63-year-old.

Sanusi already has three wives, Sadiya, the daughter of Ado Bayero who is the late emir of Kano, Maryam and Rakiya.
