Billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote light-heartedly corrected a Master of Ceremonies (MC) who mistakenly introduced him as the “President of Dangote Group” during an event attended by President Bola Tinubu.
The incident occurred during the inauguration of the Lekki Seaport Access Road.
Taking the stage after the introduction, Dangote said:
“Mr MC, for your attention, next time, when Mr. President is around, my own title is ‘chairman’ not ‘president’.
“Whether with a small p or tiny little p, don’t call me president o. Thank you.”
A report in THE PUNCH said that he followed the correction with a brief apology to President Tinubu, saying: “I’m sorry sir, he called me president. I didn’t allow him to do so, sir.”
