The Nnewi-born business mogul had told Premium Times in an interview that he was not going into politics to acquire wealth, saying “I have made money”.

He said, “There are two things about making money. For example, I can talk about myself; I don’t think making money in politics is the ultimate goal because I have made money, and with what God has blessed me with and I will give you statistics to this effect.

“I love being a businessman but also being a businessman does not give me the fulfilment of catering for the downtrodden. Being a businessman was not giving me the opportunity to touch the lives of people as much as I would have loved to touch.

“As a businessman, there are limitations to what I can do but politics is made for people at the helm of affairs to garner resources and focus on the people, build infrastructure and do other things that will touch lives. The entire essence of politics is about touching lives and making our world a better place”.
