RICHEST AFRICAN SAYS HE HAS NO PLANS TO RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE


Aliko Dangote

Billionaire entrepreneur Aliko Dangote has ruled out the possibility of running for the office of the Nigerian president in 2019 or after.

He said he is not a political animal as he is more comfortable in the business world where he is a colossus.

This is contained in an issue of the Bloomberg Markets Magazine.

He said: "No, I'm not interested in active politics. There's quite a lot we can do from the business side. I enjoy a lot of what I am doing and I also love my freedom and I don't have too much.

"The little (freedom) I have, politics would take away. I am not ready to give that up. There are businessmen who are interested in politics. I'm not one of them.

"Well, in Africa, yes, I do think you need politicians. But at the same time, we cannot get things right unless there is good cooperation between politicians and businessmen. It's a win-win. When you look at it today, in Nigeria, over 85 percent of the GDP is from the private sector."
