It is often said that when a prepubescent deer grows antlers before its peers, it only quickens its ripeness for the huntsman’s arrow. In the same vein, when a young man attains fortune ahead of his peers, it often goads him to command the devil’s leavings, so goes the wisdom of the ancients.
These witty takes according to makers of mischief, somewhat applies to Wale Akintujoye, who currently enjoys a very close and beneficial bond with Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari.
The founder of Petra Atlantic recently won a juicy contract of crude oil in exchange for petroleum products in what has been described as a fortune-changing swap deal. The deal, according to insiders, is similar to the type that Diezani Alison-Madueke, furnished the likes of Sahara Energy, Trafigura, Vitol and Mercuria among others, while she held sway as Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum.
Even though Akintujoye is relatively younger than beneficiaries of Diezani’s largesse, he is a recipient of a highly lucrative swap deal due to his links with Nigeria’s First Lady Aisha, according to African Intellegence. The latter reportedly him him with the deal to assist his ascent into the big league of the energy sector’s oil Turks and the country’s high society.
Variously described as the kind of guy that you would give a rope and he automatically wants to become a cowboy, he is all shades of solid. Because of his meteoric rise on the ladder of wealth, he is versed in the art of putting money to good use for the enjoyment and pampering of self and to the benefit and betterment of humanity.
