Aliko Dangote
Nigeria's biggest business tycoon, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has said he has no plan to run for any political office now or in the nearest future.
According to the continent's richest man, business and politics should never be mixed.
The chairman of Dangote Group spoke on Tuesday, October 6, when he visited the Awolowos to condole with the family on the death of their mother, Mrs Hannah Idowu Dideolu (HID) Awolowo in Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State.
He said: “I can’t be in politics because they say when you want to clap you need two hands. If all of us in business go into politics then who is going to create the jobs?
“We are in the private sector so we should be creating jobs. Government should be creating good policies and ensuring that we are not taking advantage of the poor.
“They are doing what they know how to do best and we are also doing what we know how to do best. Each is a master in its own terrain,” Dangote said.
