Monday, July 22, 2024 -Popular social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of humbling Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.
VeryDarkMan said Tinubu’s administration
brought Dangote close to tears due to challenges his refinery is encountering.
On Saturday, Dangote disclosed that he did
not enjoy any incentive from the Nigerian government to build his $20bn
refinery sited at the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
Receiving leadership of the House of
Representatives, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his Deputy Benjamin Kalu,
Dangote said he bought the land of the refinery for $100 million.
He also alleged that several regulations by
the Nigerian government allegedly targeted the functionality of the refinery.
Reacting in a video, VeryDarkMan said:
“Tinubu’s regime brought Africa’s richest man, Dangote close to tears during an
interview, the economy is so bad that Dangote was reminiscing when his friend
cautioned him against investing in Nigeria.
“I watched the interview where he said he
bought the land for the refinery with $100,000 million. My question to the
Nigerian government is that when he was building the refinery, why wasn’t he
told that there was no crude oil for him? After building the refinery, you told
him no crude oil is in Delta State, Edo, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and so on.
“Even with him going to Brazil to source
crude oil, the high and mighty informed those there that he had no licence, and
now he wants to sell it. But the issue is that the money he claimed to have
used in building the refinery is public funds and not his personal money. “
