Billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote has rejected moves by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to get him to contest in the 2019 presidential race on its platform.

According to Daily Times, Dangote declared categorically in a phone interview that he has no interest in politics and nobody or party should tie him to it.He said: “I am an entrepreneur.

My passion is to create jobs for Nigerians and not otherwise. “I am not interested in politics and this is authoritative. No member of any think tank committee has contacted me.

People should stop dropping my name for the 2019 presidency.” Dangote also alleged that some people were peddling the rumors to bring him on collision course with President Buhari.

He said: “This whole thing is an attempt by people who do not like me. They are doing all these with a view to putting me on a collision course with President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party.

They are people who are jealous of the successes I have so far recorded in business. “My passion is for business development, provision of jobs and wealth creation, not politics. “I have never shown interest in politics. Am not interested in politics. I am not a politician. My passion has always been business and business.

“Buhari is like a father to me. Nobody should try to set me on a collision course with President Buhari. That will not work. I have high regard and respect for the President. “For emphasis once again, I am not a politician. I can’t and won’t confront President Buhari.

They should leave him out of any high wire politics and horse trading. I also seize this opportunity to warn name droppers to desist from their infamous act. They should stop using my name for politics.

They should not set me on collision course with President Buhari and the government in power.”

Dangote said: “By the time the ongoing Dangote refinery in Lagos and the sugar projects come on stream fully, there will be a great positive development and thousands of jobs created that will change the narrative in the country. That is my passion”.

PDP de find who dem go scam

madridguy:

Hehehe na lie?

GavelSlam:
They think he's Ifeanyi Ubah.

I pity Ubah

P.D.P with this offer only want to crumble this guy's business empire If and when he eventually decides to take the offer to run,because his companies books would be looked into and somehow somewhere they would see that he evaded tax, nd import duties too.


This would then be used to nail him nd frustrate his economic fortunes till he isn't able to rise anymore,this is our archaic way of politicking ,this same thing was suggested to Femi Otedola to contest as governor in Lagos nd being a smart person he expressly told them that he wasn't interested..

You're so point.

Though u know Dangote is not interested in politics but the wordings of this writeup has "fake news" written all over it.

Confam.

Aliko Dangote is rich enough to pay the Nigerian President for as long as he likes. As the President of the Dangote Group, he's a President himself.
