Deji Adeyanju, a well-known activist lawyer, has made serious accusations against business tycoon Aliko Dangote. According to Adeyanju, Dangote has used Nigeria’s resources to become the richest man in Africa every year.

Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast, Adeyanju also accused Dangote of stifling competition in Nigeria. He claimed that Dangote has deliberately harmed many businesses in the country because he dislikes competition.

Deji Adeyanju says,
“Aliko Dangote is a shameless guy, 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 and finish up themselves.

“You know Nigerians love to take sides in battles that do not directly benefit them.”

These allegations have sparked a significant debate about the ethics of business practices in Nigeria and the role of powerful individuals in the country’s economy.
