Ayo Karim is not your run-of the mill businessman; he is never a push-over in the business sector in Nigeria either.
From construction to oil and gas business, Oyo State born billionaire businessman, Ayo Karim has made a name for himself such that his influence can’t be underestimated in the country’s economy and beyond.
It is therefore not surprising that he was received with applause when he made a grand entry into the politics of Oyo State where he aspired to rule the state as the governor in the last general elections.
He however didn’t realize his dream, as he couldn’t clinch the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the election.
Unperturbed, the billionaire showcased his sense of good sportsmanship and supported the preferred party’s candidate, Adebayo Adelabu, who eventually lost to Seyi Makinde of People’s Democratic Party, PDP. This, no doubt, endeared him to many who see him as a man of peace and one who eschews politics with bitterness. From information reaching us, this amiable dude may have in earnest begun to prepare ground for a better outing come 2023.
At the moment, the astute corporate giant is said to have returned to his original boardroom job, which suffered a big setback during his political foray.
It was also heard on good authority that Karim has just invested in a multi-billion Naira farm with a ranch called Winchester situated on a large expanse of land in the Egbeda area along Ibadan-Ife Expressway, where he breed hundreds of cows, rams, goats and lambs.
