Sir Olu Okeowo, Chairman of Gibraltar Property has been around for some time doing what he knows how to do best. By all standards, his success story, with numerous estates and golf courses scattered around the world there is no gainsaying to the fact that he is a big player in the property and real estate sector.
The shrewd businessman, is unarguably one of the best property merchants of his time. He is known for a number of imposing properties scattered around the globe.
Very determined, the dark-skinned businessman has been globe-trotting lately to network with high profile personalities, while making efforts to expand his business empire. He has hosted two African presidents privately in his palatial Parkview mansion in the last two months.
While he continues to dazzle his competitors and delight his admirers, he works so hard and little wonder he also takes time to spoil himself with the good things of life.
But just like any successful man, people would like to bring you down, some traducers have been peddling ugly rumour about the internationally recognized businessman over his acquisitions, according to the rumour, it was alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes commission, EFCC has seized his numerous exotic cars over some uncompleted government contracts in his possessions, but a source revealed to us that the story is nothing but a lie from the pit of hell.The man simply does not do government contracts.
It was gathered that this was the handiwork of his detractors that wants to bring him down for their jealousy over his impressive and intimidating landslide achievements.
The doyen of philanthropy has been a renowned international property merchant for over three decades and has not secured contract from any branch of government.
”How people can go to any length to destroy others baffles me! I don’t think the billionaire needs contracts from Government or their agencies to live or survive.
That he builds the best of home and have in his garage the best of cars that money can afford, does not translate that he, enjoys the best of life is a thief nor a government contractor’’ Our source divulged.
It was gathered that Okeowo has been highly focused, very industrious and has in the past worked so hard and made good money from such ventures, his assets and investments are from legitimate means that can be easily verified.
“Why people would go about to conjure up stories that are lies from the pits of hell and fables that have no basis just to injure people’s reputation, is totally baffling. Just imagine the claim that his cars and assets have been seized! Just imagine the stories that his cars all belong to a serving minister .
Okeowo’s hands are clean with legitimate source of income from clean businesses .The source added.
It was gathered though that the man has remained unperturbed and unruffled despite the rumour.
This is not the first time such ugly rumors would be peddled against the man of means, there was a story of him impregnating and marrying a second wife but four years down the lane nobody has seen the lady or child .
“A lie was also conjured by some undesirable elements that he owed a bank 5 billion naira loan, all these were just lies to bring the man down as he does not even have any overdraft services from any bank talk less of a loan offer .But he stands unshaken like the Rock of Gibraltar!
So naysayers and haters please go to bed and sleep’’ another source added.
