Peter Obafemi On Tenterhook

-

For some time now, many have been expressing concerns about Peter Obafemi.

Some wonder what he has up his sleeves now.

This may not be surprising, as he seems to be keeping a low profile after he suffered a huge loss in his electoral bid in 2014.

It will be recalled that he was managing his business when he was lured to go into politics.

He had contested for the number one job in Ekiti State in 2014, but lost to the immediate past governor of the state, Ayo Fayose, in the primaries.

In view of this, the US-based businessma­n, who was left broke afterwards, had reportedly bidden farewell to politics.

It was also rumoured that the businessma­n and top socialite was making another grand entry back into the aviation industry with his new airlines, Eagle Airlines.

But nothing has yet been heard so far about the move till date.

The multi-millionair­e started out as a businessma­n in 1985 with Budget TV and Appliances Rental Service Store on Central Avenue in East Orange, New Jersey.

Subsequent­ly, he became a consultant in the opening of Heritage Spas on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.

It is also on record that between 1985 and 1988, he owned one of the largest Western Union franchises in the state of New Jersey.

He later made the LagosAtlan­ta direct flight possible with his Ritetime/ World Airways.
