When Mr. Audu says, "the MD is a witch and wizard rolled into one!", what figure of speech is this?
Personification
Allusion
Assonance
Metaphor

Explanation

Audu’s statement is metaphorical. He doesn’t mean it literally but uses it to exaggerate the MD’s cleverness and manipulative prowess in economics. This can be inferred from the descriptions on page 5 of the novel.
