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. ...
Guys, What do you think? ...

@Abraham: True @Jesse: He wouldn't want to be blasted by Nigerians if he makes any political blunder @Paul: That is in a telephone interview with Daily Times Newspaper to confirm the news, not PDP

I like the fact that Dangote is being open-minded about this (his view on politics) and the fact that he stands by his word of being an Entrepreneur. Kudos to him.

This is how the current US President emerged. The US President D Trump was never into politics neither any of his family members but today, he is the President of United State of America even though he has his shortcomings because no one has monopoly of wisdom.
Dangote is a house hold name across the globe. No doubt! But, he can't make a good leader/ president of Nigeria.
Nigeria as a country is too complex. Nigeria is yet to be advanced in such a way that someone who knows nothing about politics can contest election and win.

Every politics is greed depending on how greedy u are.
It's no more "let me go n serve my people" it's now, "let me go n enrich myself, family and my relatives"
