Oil Magnate, Dapo Abiodun, reportedly hosted Sierra-Leone President, Julius Bio, at his beautiful home in Banana Island in Ikoyi, a high brow area of Lagos State
It was indeed a Presidential hosting not only for the August visitor, Sierra-Leone President, Julius Bio, but for other dignitaries which include; The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II)
Considering the magnitude of the occasion, it is no surprise thatsome of Dapo’s friends and business associates cancelled other engagements to be at his Banana Island palatial home to make the night a memorable one for the President
It was indeed a beautiful social function, as the event which started off around 9pm ended on an adorable note. It id pertinent to note that not every one gets the opportunity to host the President of a country in their homes and have him say nice things, acknowledging your contribution to his country
President Bio was more than happy to be in Nigeria and praised Dr. Dapo Abiodun in the prescence of all the attendees, noting that his host is a man he respects so much
In the words of President Bio;
“Dapo is one of the few Nigerians I respect so much for his remarkable contribution to the development of the Sierra Loane-Nigerian relations and also for the advancement and betterment of humanity”.
As expected, the President was the centre of attraction that night; he bowled everyone over with his infectious candor and charisma. People who know him well never got tired of purring odes about him on his account of his powerful speech. His oratorical prowess and his well groomed intelligence was overwhelming enough to elicit never-ending admiration from everyone.
