Mr Dangote believes that prioritising completing his refinery over buying Arsenal was the best decision
The North London club is currently valued at approximately $4 billion, a price tag Dangote says he cannot justify.
"I think that time has passed," he stated."The last time we had this interview, I told you that as soon as I finished the refinery, I'm going to try and buy Arsenal." Instead, Mr Dangote will continue to support Arsenal as one of its biggest fans."I will remain a major supporter of Arsenal. But I don't think it will make sense today to buy Arsenal."
"The choice was to either finish my projects or go and buy Arsenal. I think the best decision was to go and complete our refineries, which a lot of people didn't believe was going to be completed."
