Special Adviser to the governor of Lagos state on Drainage and Water Resources, Joe Igbokwe has said the National Leader of All Progressives Party, (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu,(BAT) transformed many Igbos in Lagos state.
The APC chieftain, made this known in a Facebook post titled, ‘How Asiwaju BAT created many Igbo billionaires in Lekki Corridor Lagos’.
Igbokwe extolled Tinubu for helping many, especially the Igbos to invest in real estate.
According to him,“In those days Lekki corridor was begging for attention. Nobody saw the potentials of that investment hub. Nobody thought Lekki will be what it is today.
“Asiwaju saw the real potentials and began to speak to some people to take a look at that side of Lagos and invest there for tomorrow.
“Asiwaju spoke to some of his Igbo friends in Lagos and told them that LEKKI will be the new Lagos anytime soon. He told them: “If you have the money go and buy property there and you will not regret it”.
He stated further that,“Asiwaju knows what he is talking about because he, himself, has been a real estate guru for years.
“Those Igbo boys and other Nigerians who took his advice are smiling big time today. They are big-time multi-billionaires and their property keeps appreciating everyday.
Igbokwe concluded saying, ASIWAJU BAT sees tomorrow.
