“If I am arrested, I would not be talking with you now. They should continue writing, but those who are in doubt should come and watch football match tomorrow because I would be there,” said the businessman.
An aide of the business mogul who would not like his name in print said all attempt to smear the good name his boss has earned would be in futility.
“I can tell you that my boss' good name in the country today cannot be smeared. He is a hardworking businessman. All these propaganda about him is because he has become a big force to be reckoned with in Nigeria.”
