The Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Anthony Onyemaechi Elumelu, has told Nigeria’s President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that if he needs a young female Minister in his cabinet, he could come for the Chief Executive Officer of Tony Elumelu Foundation, Ifeyinwa Ugochukwu.

The Chairman of Transcorp said this when the former Lagos State Governor visited him in his home in Lagos.

Elumelu, who is the Founder of TEF, spoke about offering Tinubu the services of his CEO when he introduced Ugochukwu to him during the exchange of pleasantries.

The Founder of United Bank for Africa, who was at the door to welcome Tinubu to his home, took time out to introduce no fewer than three females to the President-Elect, including Ugochukwu.

Elumelu, who referred to Tinubu as: “The last man standing,” as he bid him welcome, told the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress as he introduced Ugochukwu: “This is the CEO of Tony Elumelu Foundation.

“She is in charge of the Foundation.

“So if you need a young female Minister to come and change the women focus….”

While welcoming Tinubu at the entrance to the house as he alighted from the car, Elumelu said: “Last man standing.”

To which Tinubu replied: “Still standing.”

Elumelu then turned to his left where Seyi, Tinubu’s son was, joking that they wore the same kind of dress.

He said: “Seyi, how come two of you are wearing the same thing?

“Is that a uniform?

“Last man standing.

“You are a strong man.”

To which Tinubu chipped in: “Still standing.”

Elumelu then stepped down and hugged Tinubu, saying: “This man ehn, 10 lives.

“Seyi you must be very proud of your father as he is proud of you.

“You are a good man, Seyi.”

He then turned to Tinubu again: “Last man standing.”

At this point, they entered into the house where the ladies were introduced, beginning with Ajibola Ayantuga.”

From Harvard With Love: Why Ijebuland Is Blessed With A Strong Choice

Education has long been one of the defining strengths of the Awùjalẹ̀ institution in Ijebuland. The immediate past Awùjalẹ̀, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, was widely respected not only for the length of his reign but also for his intellectual depth, discipline, and exposure.

His solid formal education and broad worldview shaped a reign marked by courage, clarity, and principled leadership. Under him, Ijebuland benefited from a ruler who could engage confidently with governments, institutions, and global audiences while remaining firmly rooted in tradition. It is therefore unsurprising that education remains a central consideration as conversations continue about the next Awùjalẹ̀.

Within this context, Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo’s educational background has drawn considerable attention. He holds a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Banking and Finance from Lagos State University, a discipline that provided him with strong foundations in economics, financial systems, and organizational discipline.

Beyond this, he pursued advanced executive education at some of the world’s most respected institutions, including Harvard Business School, the Wharton School, and Columbia Business School, where he refined his understanding of leadership, international strategy, corporate governance, and global capital markets. This level of exposure places him firmly within the long-standing tradition of educated Ijebu leadership.

Since discussions about the possible choice of Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo began, many people have asked further questions about his pedigree and readiness. His people and those who know him well, including Mr. Rabiu Oliyide and Mrs. Olowolayemo Kowoti, consistently affirm that he is well qualified, not only on paper, but in conduct and character.

Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo is deeply rooted in Ijebu royal heritage. His lineage carries a clear understanding that the Awùjalẹ̀ stool is not ornamental but sacred, an institution built on discipline, restraint, and lifelong service to the people. Those close to him often speak of his respect for tradition and his belief that kingship demands humility and moral authority. At a time when traditional institutions must consciously preserve their relevance, many see in him someone who understands both the weight of history and the responsibility of the future.

Age and maturity have also featured prominently in discussions. While leadership is not defined by age alone, Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo is widely regarded as being at a stage of life marked by emotional balance, perspective, and readiness for responsibility. He represents a generation able to listen to elders while also understanding the realities of younger Ijebu sons and daughters, many of whom live and work beyond Nigeria’s borders. This balance is increasingly important for a kingdom whose influence now extends far beyond its geographical boundaries.

Beyond heritage and education, his record of leadership is already well established. As Chairman and Founder of Kleensteps Holdings, he oversees a diversified group operating across luxury services, security solutions, and strategic infrastructure development. His leadership philosophy emphasizes disciplined growth, strong governance, and sustainability, principles that align closely with the demands of traditional authority in a modern world.

Perhaps most compelling to many people in Ijebuland is his long history of quiet service. Long before his name was ever associated with the Awùjalẹ̀ stool, he had supported students struggling to remain in school, assisted widows and elderly people facing hardship, and contributed to community and youth initiatives. These acts were carried out without publicity or political ambition, reflecting a genuine commitment to the welfare of others.

Support for Omoọba Abímbọ́lá Onabanjo has not been driven by noise or lobbying. It has grown organically through shared experiences and long observation of his conduct. In him, many see a blend of sound education, echoing the intellectual tradition of past Awùjalẹ̀s, strong heritage, maturity, and compassion.

At this important moment in Ijebu history, it is understandable why so many believe Ijebuland is blessed to have such a thoughtful and well-prepared choice before it.
