Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has accused business mogul, Aliko Dangote of using Nigeria’s money to become Africa’s richest man yearly.

Adeyanju said Dangote had killed a lot of businesses in Nigeria because he hated competition.

The constitutional lawyer disclosed this while featuring on The Honest Bunch podcast.

According to Dangote: “Aliko Dangote is a shameless man. He uses Nigeria’s money to become Africa’s richest man yearly. He has killed a lot of businesses; so I don’t know why he’s now crying.

“Dangote does not like competition; he’s an Agip, All Government In Power. What he does is, before any government comes into power, he identifies who will win and donates money to them.

“And when they assume power, he starts ass-kissing them; unfortunately, that did not work with Tinubu and that’s why they are angry with him.

“They are after him because Tinubu’s guys are monopolistic themselves, like Dangote. They feel there is nothing Dangote can do that they can’t. They can do the oil and bring in the sugar.

“So, Nigerians should not sympathize with Aliko. Let them fight take sides in battles that do not directly benefit them.”
