Dangote Breaks Silence, Speaks On Nigeria’s Election

Aliko Dangote, Dangote Group president, has noted that there are better days ahead for the business community in Nigeria, even as the elections are ongoing in the country.

Dangote added that the elections would not deter his companies from investing in the country.

“I think from the business community, things are going to continue to grow in terms of trajectory. When I say it; I mean there are quite a lot of things that are happening in Nigeria,” he told Channels TV.

“We didn’t really bother whether election period or not, we have been investing heavily in the country and we would continue to invest. I think we would have better days ahead.”

The businessman, who recently became one of the top 70 billionaires in the world, was listed as one of the members of Muhammadu Buhari reelection campaign team.

Dangote, alongside Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, Adams Oshiomole, and billionaire businessman Femi Otedola were named as members of a special advisory committee for Buhari’s re-election.

Less than 24 hours after, Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, issued a statement saying Dangote, as a member of the peace committee cannot be a member of Buhari’s re-election team.
