January 09, (THEWILL) – About nine months after losing his precious wife of 58 years, Chief Mrs Stella Shola to the cold hands of death and six months after her 80th birthday, business mogul and the Asiwaju of Ife, Chief Oyekunle Alex-Duduyemi is getting back his groove which culminated into the opening of his mansion in Ikoyi Lagos on January 1st.
The house warming devoid of any major fanfare due to the prevalence of Covid19, saw a few of his close friends, associates and family members, take out time to rejoice with him. Despite having offices for his various business endeavours in Lagos Island, the octogenarian lived most of his adult life in Apapa. His plan to move to Lagos Island began a few years ago. The Ikoyi home was supposed to serve as his and his wife’s retirement home but when he lost her, he took a pause to mourn his dearly departed with whom he shared very memorable times with. Having thought that his late wife would have wanted him to move on, work on the project resumed just in time to play host to guests in the new year and to usher in new beginnings. A sprawling edifice, some parts of the house is a bungalow due to his age and a portion, a storey building.
