Adron Homes Boss, Adetola EmmanuelKi­ng’s Selling Point

-

Adetola Emmanuel-King, the Group Managing Director of one of the leading real estate in Nigeria, Adron Homes, can be described as a phenomenon in the nation’s real estate.

If you have the opportunit­y to ask anyone who knows a little about real estate and properties, you will most likely be told that the Ogun Stateborn real estate merchant holds aces in the industry.

Very brainy and confident, he is believed to hold the magic wand that turns the sector around. It is, therefore, not surprising that he has risen to an enviable height in the industry. His Adron Homes and Properties is fast becoming the company to beat in the real estate world.

A decade ago, when he came into the sector and thumped his chest to turn it around, many naysayers sneered at him, thinking his entrance would end up fruitless. But like one of his philosophi­es in life “All things are possible if you believe”, he is not only living up to the philosophy, he has recreated his own story.

Emmanuel-King has set a precedence that would take others in the sector to meet. His ingenuity and innovation­s have set him far apart from his contempora­ries. He has grown to become one of Nigeria’s leading lights in the affordable real estate sector after building over 10,000 units of homes across the country, with several estates littered across the country.

The brand is notable for its unique selling point, which is a flexible paymentpla­nthat gives customers the leverage to gradually build a home, most especially lowincome earners.

The property firm has invested in every part of the country with its cheap and affordable homes such as Treasure Park and Gardens, Washington Park and Gardens, Rehoboth Park and Gardens, Imperial Park and Gardens, among several others scattered around the country.

Former Senate President and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, has carved a niche for himself as a political giant since his foray into politics over four decades ago. He has maintained his high-flying political career for years as a senator, and minister under General Sani Abacha and President Olusegun Obasanjo before his unceremoni­ous exit as Chairman of PDP last year.

The Gboko, Benue-born politician and academicia­n held sway as chairman of PDP but was forced to leave after several outcries by the integrity group, led by former Governor of Rivers State and now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, over his partisansh­ip during the PDP presidenti­al primaries, during which he labelled Senator Waziri Aminu Tambuwal the hero of the convention that produced Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidenti­al Flag bearers amidst several allegation­s of financial mismanagem­ent among others.

After the political imbroglio, the third republic senate president recoiled into his shell; keeping away from politics to face other personal stuff.

However, there is good news coming from the household of the political gladiator.

Society Watch gathered that yesterday, Saturday, January 13, the former Minister of Internal Affairs gave out the hand of his daughter Wanger Mbalumun in marriage to her heartthrob Oluwagbote­mi Olugbenga.

As gathered by Society Watch, the event that started Tuesday with a traditiona­l wedding, was well attended by the movers and shakers of society.
