Zinox Group Boss, Leo Stan Ekeh’s New Dream

The Chief Executive Officer of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, is one of the few businessmen who have written their names in gold. The multi-billionaire businessman, who has his hands in several businesses including e-commerce, oil and gas, media publishing and real estate, among others, boasts an intimidating résumé, international connection and riches.

He is one of the few Nigerian business magnates whose business opinions and advisory are often welcome around the world. The string of industry awards that litter his ornate office is evident of his success story in the sector.

Interestingly, he is not known to pursue unrealistic dreams. As the nation warms up for another general election in 2023, many now wish that Ekeh, who has a deep knowledge of the world economy, should be given a chance.

A source disclosed that this is not the first time he would come under pressure from people who want him to throw his hat in the ring for a political position.

In 2019, Ekeh was pressured to contest for governor of Imo State. As disclosed by our source, to underscore the seriousness of their intention, they reportedly made representations to him to hearken to their cries on different occasions. However, it was gathered that the businessman shunned all pleas for the simple reason that he is more passionate about his businesses scattered around the world. Even now, Ekeh’s name has constantly been mentioned as a candidate to watch out for.

In a chat with Society Watch, a source said: “He is a sellable candidate devoid of bigotry; he is also a nationalist with the interest of Nigeria at heart. Despite having business chains littered across the world, he has done everything possible to make sure a huge chunk of his investment is sited in Nigeria to create employment and empower people.

“Leo Stan is a perfect example of the type of leader Nigeria needs; he has a clean record; he has never been caught in the web of corruption; he is also a tested and a trusted businessman who will open the economy of the country and place Nigeria back as the giant of Africa with huge business investment opportunities and also attract foreign direct investment.

“If he will give it a shot, we don’t know yet the platform he will be contesting from. But he is a candidate to watch out for.”
