Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu said his emergence as Nigeria’s incoming President has had a positive effect on the country’s stock market.
Tinubu’s assertion, however, contradicted the report in general circulation that on Wednesday when he was declared winner by the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, the stock market ended a five-day positive run, with the all-share index falling by 0.53.
The President-Elect claimed otherwise when he visited his about-to-be predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura to present to him his Certificate of Return, while fielding questions from newsmen on whether he has been in receipt of goodwill messages from world leaders.
“Oh! (I have received) very many, many of that. In fact, as far as Europe, the stock market reacted positively well, there was a goodwill message from Macron the President of France,” the former Lagos governor remarked.
