“In 2015 when @MBuhari won, the Nigerian Stock Exchange gained almost ₦100 billion. After 4 years, investors now know Buhari. He looks set to win this rigged election and the Stock Market lost ₦85 billion today. So stop asking me how market. Ask yourself that question instead.
“Dear @Surajudeenadio: Just today alone, the Nigerian Stock Exchange lost ₦85 billion ‘celebrating’ your #NextLevel. Wait until tomorrow, those who were ‘sleeping’ will celebrate by taking their investment elsewhere. You seem not to understand the true state of Nigeria right now!”
