Money Man, Jide Omokore Bask In Old Glory

Kogi-born, Bashorun Jide Omokore was among the roving businessmen that made a huge fortune in the oil sector while Diezani Alison Madueke called the shots at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.

He owns a vast business empire with substantial investment in many key sectors of the economy, including upstream and downstream oil and gas industry, steel and iron rod, power distribution infrastructure and aviation.

The moneyman met his waterloo when People Democratic Party (PDP) was edged out of power during the 2015 general election. Jide who is married to a former banker, Angela Omokore, nee Ebagua has gone quiet from the social scene. Meanwhile, sources around him revealed that, he has lost and forfeited virtually all his property to the Federal Government and every effort to recover them have been proving abortive. This we scooped has been causing him sleepless night. Some fellers have started mocking him that, the one time billionaire has nothing again that he’s just basking in old glory.
