Subsequently, they moved to Eko Atlantic city, a product of an idea conceived by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

 

“When I sent my recce team, one of the presidential candidates, he funded his agents, they held a meeting for three nights consequently, to plan mischief. When I was told it was a hostile crowd. I’m a banker, I was trained by one of the best bankers in the world. I’m a Jim Ovia boy. I deliberately wore sneakers to the NBA to snub at them.”
