Folorunsho Alakija

Billionaire businesswoman, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija, has denied allegations of any intention on her part to become the governor of Lagos State.

In a statement,She said “It has come to my notice, that there are posters and fliers being circulated in Ikorodu, Lagos Island and other parts of Lagos State announcing me as a governorship aspirant.

This is not true and I hereby confirm that I have no such intention. Therefore I disassociate myself from any persons, or group of persons, posters or fliers in circulation about me contesting for governorship.

 I have been paying attention to my calling from God to look after widows and orphans through The Rose of Sharon Foundation and I am also in service most importantly to God’s work as a Minister of his Word through His Ministry committed to us as the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International.”  

God has not called me into politics and I have never been involved in politics. Please ignore whatever you may have read purportedly portraying me as a governorship aspirant.”
She was born in 1951 to the family of Chief L. A. Ogbara in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Alakija is a business tycoon involved in the fashion, oil and printing industries.
