Billionaire Businessman, Femi Otedola, on Tuesday morning, went down memory lane on his relationship with Nigerian entrepreneur and investor, Tony Elumelu and his plans for Transcorp PLC before he opted out because his bid was rejected.<\/p>\n

Recall, Otedola recently acquired a 5.52 percent stake in Transcorp Plc to become the second largest shareholder of the company,\u00a0but then sold out his entire holding to Tony Elumelu, the chairman of the group.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, In a press statement by Otedola, he spoke for the first time on the events surrounding his bid to take over the company.<\/p>\n

In his new statement, Mr Otedola recalled how he \u201centhusiastically gave him (Mr Elumelu) $ 20 million, which was N2 billion at that time\u201d to buy the necessary shares for the acquisition of UBA in 2005.<\/p>\n

He said, in 2008, when he went bankrupt , Tony proceeded to take his shares in UBA to service the interest on his loans and also took over his shares in the Africa Finance Corporation.<\/p>\n

The businessman also alleged that Mr Elumelu stabbed him in the back a number of times in the past.<\/p>\n

Femi said, in 2012, he told Mr Elumelu about his interest in Ughelli Power Plant and the Transcorp chair \u201cquietly went ahead\u201d to outbid him in the acquisition of the plant.<\/p>\n

Otedola’s words;<\/p>\n

“In 2005, while Tony was the Managing Director of Standard Trust Bank he approached me to get funds to acquire UBA. I enthusiastically gave him $ 20 million, which was N2 billion at that time to buy the necessary shares in UBA for the acquisition. After a short period of time the share price moved up and I decided it was a good moment to sell and get out of the bank. However, Tony appealed to me to hold on to the shares as he was convinced that there were future prospects \u2013 so I kept the shares.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI became Chairman of Transcorp Hotel in 2007 with a shareholding of 5% and unknowingly Tony gradually started buying shares quietly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“By the following year in 2008 I went bankrupt in Nigeria. Tony proceeded to take my shares in UBA to service the interest on my loans and he also took over my shares in Africa Finance Corporation, where I was the largest shareholder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Shortly after, Albert Okumagba informed me that an American firm wanted to acquire my shares in Transcorp, which I then agreed to sell. However, this supposed American firm turned out to be Tony Elumelu. The revelation of this prompted me to resign as Chairman of the hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Years later in 2012 Tony said he wanted to see me so we met in my office where I had previously had a meeting with foreign investors who had not yet departed the premises. Curious to know, he asked what sort of meeting I had had and I disclosed that I wanted to go into the power business, specifically Ughelli Power Plant. Tony quietly went ahead to bid for Ughelli and he outbidded me by offering to buy the plant for $300million.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“And as some would say: the rest is history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fast forward to the present\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I offered to buy Transcorp Plc for N250 billion, but unfortunately, my offer was rejected. My goal was to maximize the company\u2019s potential as a Nigerian conglomerate with a market cap of at least N2 trillion instead of the current N40 billion, but it seems some shareholders have a different vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As a businessman, I believe in healthy competition and market dynamics. Two captains cannot man a ship, and I respect the majority shareholder\u2019s decision to buy me out. This is the nature of the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“But let me be clear: my offer was made with the best intentions for Transcorp Plc and its shareholders. I saw an opportunity to unlock the company\u2019s full potential and create value for everyone involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s important for investors to understand that free entry and free exit are crucial to healthy markets. The scramble for shares after my acquisition is a testament to the value that Transcorp Plc can offer, and I hope the company continues to thrive under new leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“My message to Transcorp Plc and its shareholders is this: I remain committed to the growth and success of Nigerian businesses, and I will always be looking for ways to create value for all stakeholders. Stakeholders are unfortunately always shortchanged by getting stipends while the owners and managers of the business live a jet-set lifestyle, which is detrimental to the stakeholders. Thank you for the opportunity to engage in this exciting chapter of Transcorp\u2019s history.”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
