May 30, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of Sunny Motors and Omoriege Motors, Chief Sunny Asemota, is dead. The Edo-born patriarch of the Asemota family passed on at the age of 87, leaving behind children, grandchildren and a grieving wife, Ireti, one of the matriarchs of high society.
Late Chief Asemota was one of the wealthiest Nigerians whose indelible footprints in the automobile business has remained a reference point for many decades. Not one to be associated with anything that has no class, he lived a lifestyle of luxury.
About 10 years ago, Chief Asemota retired from active service, having successfully nurtured his companies from infancy to a multi-billion naira business enterprise that is now being run professionally by his children, Osa, Iredia and Omoregie. One of his children, Oghogho, who used to be married to Ayo Adedoyin, runs Aralia by Nature, a landscape design company. As earlier stated, Asemota and his wife dominated the social scene for many years, a feat that earned them a legendary status of some sort.
