By OLUSEGUN APENA

Midas, in Greek mythology, is the name of a famous king known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. This came to be called the golden touch, or the Midas touch in the World of reality. To possess a Midas touch is to have the ability to effect successful outcomes.

In Kosofe's socio-political Isle one prominent figure who is known to be naturally endowed with the coveted Midas touch is no other person than a business mogul - Hon. Olanrewaju Carew FCA. Anything he touches, transmutes to pure gold.

Lanre Carew is many things roll into one. A Bluckbuster of an achiever. He is a Chartered Accountant, an Agriculturist, a serial entrepreneur, an economist, an industrialist and a successful businessman, who has been able to transform his dreams, ideas and visions into propitious ventures and positive outcomes. 

His success and accomplishments in the realm of commerce and industry are self-evident. He is the owner of a world famous hospitality industry that has become a global brand - Farm City. He owns a  highly productive Agricultural Farm and an Auditing firm among a host of other investments.

Besides possessing a Midas touch which has earned him a huge success and fortune through sheer inventiveness, determination and passion for success, he also has the Midas effect.

With his Midas effect, Lanre Carew has been able to impact so many lives in variegated positive ways and uplifted so many people known and unknown to the acme of affluence. He is a great inspiration to many people who have been in contact with him. With his network of companies, he has about 10,000 people in his ambit working. Above all, he is a philanthropist par excellence and a man with a large heart. 


As a man who is very kindhearted, amazingly generous and very sensitive to the plights of his fellow human beings, his main purpose in life has always been to serve humanity selflessly to the best of his ability and to transfer his private success into the public sphere for the betterment of the majority. For commerce is a societal attempt at finding solutions to particular human needs or wants while Politics or governance is a societal attempt at finding solutions to the needs and wants of the great majority.  Hence his foray into politics. 

Since his emergence in the political terrain of Kosofe Local Government Area, Lanre Carew has become a household name. He has made an enduring impression in the hearts of many people with his groundbreaking political activities and support for the party's candidates.

He is a veritable crowd puller and a mobilizer who is very popular with the political class at the grassroots. His generosity, humility and amiable personality have endeared him to the teeming populace of Kosofe Local Government area.

While his two previous attempts at getting into elective public offices may be of his volition, this time round, his attempt at the Lagos state House of Assembly seat of Kosofe Constituency 1 is at the behest of and by popular demand from the teeming party members and populace who have come to regard the farm City owner as the only politician in the Constituency who can perfectly fit the yawning vacuum left behind by Late Senator Bayo Osinowo.

The time may just be right for him to clinch the party's ticket for the Lagos State house of Assembly seat ìn the forthcoming primary election. Things seem to be going in his favour.
