Since the victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari at the polls.

Businessman Aliko Dangote and then ally to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan, has now pitched his tents with the power brokers of the new administration, dumping the First Family.

Dangote widely reported to have evaded tax (with government cover) throughout the Goodluck Jonathan’s regime has been seen pledging his loyalty, romancing the strong men behind Muhammadu Buhari’s Victory “in a bid to continue enjoying government patronage”, an insider tells NewsWireNGR.

Businessmen are obviously never loyal, Dangote according to Sources at the Presidential Villa Abuja was not only an influential and respected ally of President Goodluc Jonathan, ‘he had upper hands to all Jonathan’s economic policies favouring his business model”.

“There is no business meeting that Aliko wasn’t made to chair or to recommend what is best for the nation, which in turn was best for his own business” another source who doesn’t want his name mentioned tells NewsWireNGR.

“Did you notice how Jonathan calls his name more than 10 times in every business gathering world over? Even here in Nigeria, during his media chats as a Journalist, is there any other person the President acknowledged as he did for Aliko”? our source continued.

“In the business community, you get leverage when you have the eyes and the ears of the President and thats the secret behind Aliko’s growth throughout the Jonathan’s regime, business policies always favour him”.a senior business analyst opined.

An insider in the Presidential Villa said, “Point is, Dangote betrayed Jonathan long before the elections, part of the reasons Jonathan fell out with some members of the business community, is because he (Aliko) was basically the C.E.O. of the Nigerian business and decided what gets to who because he had the ears of the President.”

The relationship between Africa’s richest man got to a point that the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), in a statement described as anti-people, NewsWireNGR recalls.

The CNPP accused the Jonathan led government of promoting an economic model against the Nigerian People only adopted and accepted by Aliko Dangote who was described by the group be loved by Jonathan.

The statement read, “Jonathan is only in love with Dangote, Adenuga, Elemelu”.

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, made his fortune is cement, sugar and flour.

In April 2014, months before oil prices plunged, he announced $9 billion in financing from a consortium of local and international lenders to construct a private oil refinery and fertilizer and petrochemical complex in the country.

In August 2014 he said he would invest $1 billion in commercial rice farming and modern rice mills, a policy business analyst insists was made possible by the Goodluck Jonathan’s regime patronage to Dangote.

Shifting things u know

We all know he will jump tent nau

there was dangote before Jonathan, and there would still be dangote after Jonathan

Just in case..

What do u expect? Dangote is a wise business man unlike dopeksi(AIT) who forgot that one of the features of democratic govt is political instability meaning govt is not permanent.....as a business man you are to be in line with the party in power

Smart guy

Before n ko

The same Dangote and Tinubu that refuses to greet each other in one convention 2 and half years ago, haahhhaaa politician and businessmen.

Very soon you will see Asari Dokubo having dinner with Tinubu just like Ayiri Emami was seeing with Tinubu less than 10 days after GEJ lost to GMB.
It is just business; these people are after their own interest. Do you think if Asari had to choose between his life and GEJ's he would choose GEJ?
Aliko Dangote is forming strategic networking and alliance. His business needs that to continue. If you are an investor in Dangote Groups and you noticed that he is not doing this, then you should be worried.

Wait for the likes of Asari Dokubo to start having meetings with the new government in Aso Villa; in the name of Niger Delta.

When he refused to show up for the fund raising I knew something was wrong. So am not surprised at all.

And who wants to associated with a loser?

What do ppl expect b4, of course he'd start flowing wit d winner na.

Ayiri don port, Dangote don port, Otedola don port, Elumelu don port.

Dopesi should try a bit of sitting on the fence as a businessman next time.

who cares! All i wana see is change during the reign of buhari.porting is allowed.no one wants to b on d loosing side

Aliko has to do everything that will protect his business empire. He has to start associating with the team that will be mounting the throne of power.

Who pitches tent with a loser?
