Construction giant, Olu Okeowo is of the opinion that should Nigeria disintegrate today, the South West will be the biggest looser.
Okeowo whose humongous edifice was pulled down by the Lagos State government for allegedly not complying with the state’s town planning rules added that the only thing the South West has produced in abundance more than other parts of the country, is area boys and fake pastors.
The founder and Chief Executive Officer of Gibraltar Constructions, disclosed this over the weekend during a prayer session held in his Park View Estate, Ikoyi home, on the occasion of his birthday.
There are strong indications that the Lagos State governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, might not make it as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2023 Lagos Governorship Poll as plot to drop the hardworking governor from the race gathers momentum.
Plot Against Sanwo-Olu’s Second Term
It is two full years to the next general elections in 2023 but the powers that be in Lagos are already plotting to see Governor Sanwo-Olu’s back. The boyish and dynamic governor is everywhere and on top of every incident that has dogged his administration, right from the very first few months of his inauguration when deadly pipeline fire broke out and ravaged Lagos communities in quick succession to the first index coronavirus case in Nigeria in March 2020 and then the destructive and disastrous #EndSARS protest at the Lekki toll gate on October, 2020.
