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 is evidence that he is a big player in the property and real estate sector. He is known for a number of imposing properties scattered around the globe; hence, anyone who likes to venture into the real estate business will be doing himself some good if he or she contacts him for some rudiments of the business.

Recently, he threw his door open to family and friends to celebrate with him on the occasion of his birthday.

But beyond the celebration, Okeowo also used the day to preach unity in the country while also urging the government to recruit jobless youths into the security outfits to help defend the sovereignty of our country.

“We are one united and indivisible entity; after all, we run a democratic republic. The hopeless situation we are in now was born out of decades of bad governance. It has nothing to do with religious bigotry as being trumped up by fake pastors,” he said.

“Christians and Muslims are one, and this country must not go down in Jesus’ mighty name. The South-West has indeed produced great compatriots from formidable politicians to boardroom gurus.

“Internationally, our professionals are being sought after. Unfortunately, the lesser mortals are roaming the streets with prophecies of gloom and doom hovering over their heads. Let us make our governance skills work instead of beating the drums of war.”
