The incident occurred on Thursday, June 5, 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.”
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.”
