Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has admitted he has regrets he did not buy Premier League club Arsenal.
Billionaire Dangote is a big fan of Arsenal and at a time had the chance to pay $2 Billion to own the London Gunners.
“I regret I did not buy Arsenal before, I would have bought it for $2 Billion,” he told Bloomberg in an interview.
“My money was needed to complete my project (the refinery) than by buying Arsenal.
“If I had bought the club, I would not have been able to finish my refinery.
“The best decision was to complete the refinery.
“All the same, I remain the biggest fan of the club and watch them whenever they play.
“I will remain a major supporter of the club.”
The Dangote group spent over $20 Billion to build the first-ever private refinery in Nigeria.
