His resignation came barely two months after a judge in Abuja backed up his claim as the chairman of the hotel group, amidst a rancorous family dispute, involving Maiden Ibru, the wife of the late younger brother, Alex Ibru.
Goodie
Ibru, recipient of the national honour of officer of the Order of the
Niger, said he has taken the move in the overall interest of the
company and the larger Ibru family.
Mr Goodie Ibru, in a statement, anchored his decision on the need to get Ikeja
Hotels to perform optimally, which have been hampered as a result of
multiplicity of law suits filed by shareholders in the contest for the
management and control of the company.
He
stated that the decision of Justice Kafarati of the Federal High Court,
Abuja of December 21, 2016 confirming him as chairman vindicated his
struggle for corporate governance in the company and provided right
timing for him to retire as founding chairman after 32 years in office.
Mr.
Ibru called on the younger generation of Ibrus to work with other
shareholders to continue to carry on the torch of excellence for which
Ikeja Hotels has been known for.
