Africa's Richest man, Aliko Dangote says he will soon buy Arsenal Football club once he completes the refinery that he is building in Lagos. He said this to BBC Hausa on Tuesday June 16th.
“When we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for. There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy, and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling were trying to go for a kill. We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialization.”he said
Dangote, 58, is Africa's richest man according to Forbes, and is worth a reported $15.7 billion which puts him 67th on the list of the world's richest people.
The Nigerian has held an interest in Arsenal for a long time and wants to help the club back into the race for the Premier League title by taking over as owner.
