“My brother, [DJ Sbu], I want to celebrate you today and wish you a brilliant ride ahead for Mofaya soft drinks. I remember you once stood outside the Coca-[Cola] building, pointed at it and said, ‘one day is one day.’ Today is that day! Your push excites me. Well done to you and your team,” he wrote.
