Nigerian business mogul and chairman of Forte Oil, Femi Otedola on Tuesday made a post that arose people’s curiosity about what he could actually be planning amid the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
GatekeepersΒ News reports that Otedola who looked dashing in a white loose-fitting robe (Agbada) shared a short clip of his photoshoot section and hinted at planning ‘something big’.
“Working on something BIG π€« The legacy continues… F.Oteπ²” he captioned his post without giving further details.
What ‘Big’ Legacy Could Otedola Be working On?
Femi Otedola’s father, Sir Michael Otedola was a former governor of Lagos State. He was elected as the ninth governor of Lagos State from 1992 to 1993 on the platform of the National Republican Convention (NRC). He died on 5 May 2014 at the age of 87
Femi Otedola, 59, was recently urged to join the 2023 presidential race by Northern youths under the aegis of the Arewa Youth Assembly. He was listed among a few other successful entrepreneurs who the group believes has the skills to improve the nation’s economic status.
“It is the norm, just a few months to the general elections on which the faith of producing the next president, and of course another set of new leaders is placed upon us, the drums of campaigns shall be beating to make the biggest music. Another election season and the whole country turns into an atmosphere of advertisement for different candidates from different political parties,” the statement signed by Mohammed Salihu Danlami, and Desmond Minakaro, its Speaker and National Clerk respectively,
βA country like Nigeria that has great and intelligent minds with positive reputations all over the world, the likes of Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Mrs Ibukun Awosika, Mr Bode Augusto, Mr Segun Agbaje, Mr Fola Adeola, Alhaji Tunde Folawiyo, Mr Atedo Peterside, Mr Kola Adesina, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr Femi Otedola, Mr Mike Adenuga, Mr Akinwumi Adesina, Mr Herbert Wigwe and Mr Aig Imoukhuede who are boardroom Czars with a vast wealth of knowledge on entrepreneurship, why let Nigeria be run by others who lack such knowledge,” the group had said.
Femi Otedola is yet to make his intention known, but could the business mogul be planning to continue his father’s political legacy as a State Governor or President?
