Despite the drop, Dangote still retained his spot as Africa’s money bag with an estimated worth of $10.3bn, closely followed by Globacom chairman, Mike Adenuga ($9.2bn),

In 2015, Dangote was reported to have a net worth of $25bn, but three years after, that lot has reduced by about $15bn.

To understand the damage @MBuhari has done to our economy, look at @Forbes’ latest rankings of @AlikoDangote’s wealth:

2015 estimated wealth: $25 billion.
2018 estimated wealth: $12.4 billion
2019 estimated wealth: $10.3 billion

Dangote’s wealth may be $0 if PMB is re-elected.
