Nigerian Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has expressed his “disappointment” with Nigerians who went on social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the depreciation of the Naira against the dollar, labelling them as “clowns.”
Shettima made this known while speaking at a function in Abuja on Wednesday, January 31.
In the video which was shared by a Youtuber, Symfoni, Vice President Shettima said, “It is not only disheartening and disenchanting, but also heartbreaking that yesterday when the Naira culminated to N1,500 to the dollar, instead of us to coagulate into a single force and salvage our nation economy, sadly, some clowns are celebrating on Twitter of an impending implosion of the Nigerian economy.”
