After only tying marital knot yesterday, May 15,
2015, Governor Adams Oshiomhole today stepped out with his new wife for
some sports.
Governor Oshiomhole hosted the Okpekpe Annual 10Km race and took part in some distance with his new wife, Lara also coming along.
The Oshiomhole’s were visibly happy, with the Okpekpe people rooting for the new couple as they went by.
At the end of the ceremony, Oshiomhole said that his adamant investment in the rural communities of Edo state through massive construction of modern roads has begun to yield returns.
He expressed his delight in the Okpekpe 10km race which is now an internationally-recognized and accredited athletic event.The governor said: “I am excited that Okpekpe community is not only now on the world map but people from various parts of the world, from various countries from various continents are now participating actively in what has become known as the Okpekpe Annual 10Km race and we saw that this year we have more participants than previous years and by logic, we will expect that every year, more and more people will participate in it.
“I think for me, this is one practical way to remind all of us that there is life outside urban city and that the real Nigerians, the forgotten majority are in our rural areas. So Okpekpe people I congratulate you for playing host to all of us.
Lara should get ready, because the governor is feeling stronger than some young men.
“I worked hard but was not successful. To do 10 kilometers after the wedding assured me that I am capable and strong to what young people can do,” Oshiomhole said.
Meanwhile here are photos of the governor and his new wife, giving out prizes to the various winners.
Meanwhile, the race was dominated by Kenyan athletes as Alex Korio came first and grabbed the 25000 dollar prize, while in the female category, Tanui Nkele of Kenya came first.
