She is of a creditable pedigree and she makes no pretence about it. Her father, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion, is one of Nigeria’s famous moneybags while her mother, Lady Cherry, who is of Jamaican heritage, is regal in the true sense of the word.
Omosede, who schooled in prestigious institutions abroad, trained as a lawyer. A mother of one, many will recollect that her two-year-old marriage to Bini prince, Aven Akenzua, crashed irretrievably in 2002.Not only did the wedding, which was contracted amid pomp, not stand the test of time, the couple’s split was characterised by acrimony.
Unperturbed, Omosede launched into the social scene in a big way and has most recently announced her presence on the political scene in her home state, Edo.
In her early 30s, she has signified her interest to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives. She is seeking to represent Ovia Federal Constituency in the lower house and has already set her campaign machinery in motion.
