The Dangote Group has dismissed as false and malicious a publication alleging that Aliko Dangote distanced himself from UBA Group Chairman Tony Elumelu, describing the report as entirely baseless. Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer Anthony Chiejina said neither Dangote nor the Group made the claims attributed to them. The Group also faulted claims that the Dangote Petroleum Refinery was financed through personal borrowing from friends, calling the allegations inaccurate. It clarified that there is no rift between Dangote and Elumelu, noting their longstanding cordial relationship. The Group warned against AI-generated fake content using Dangote's image.
