Alakija

Philanthropist extraordinaire and Africa’s richest woman Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija has denied reports that she's contesting for governor of Lagos State come 2015.
In a statement released to the public recently, Mrs. Alakiija revealed that she has no intentions of running as Governor of Lagos despite posters and fliers with her name and face circulating in Ikorodu and other parts of the state announcing her as a governorship aspirant.
“I have been paying attention to my calling from God to look after widows and orphans through The Rose of Sharon Foundation and I am also in service most importantly for God’s work as a Minister of his Word through His Ministry committed to us as the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International.  God has not called me into politics and I have never been involved in politics,” parts of her statement read.
