Meanwhile, Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola has spoken about how he was allegedly betrayed by his friend, Tony Elumelu, in their business dealings.
For the first time since acquiring and selling his Transcorp shares on Tuesday morning, the businessman reflected on his relationship with Tony Elumelu.
Otedola stated that he offered N250 billion to acquire Transcorp Plc, bringing the company’s market capitalisation to N2 trillion, but his bid was rejected.
Remember that Otedola recently purchased a 5.52 percent stake in Transcorp Plc, becoming the company’s second largest shareholder, but then sold his entire stake to Tony Elumelu, the group’s chairman.
