Taking a swipe at Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Social Intervention Scheme [SIP] , Tradermoni, Senator Sani compared him to an ‘active trader who is busy in the market, trying to sell two thousand and twenty three bags of juicy but unripe carrots,in order to buy two thousand and nineteen bags of ripped Kola nuts.’
