Wednesday, November 13, 2024 -The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has called out oil cabals.
The clergyman accused oil cabals of working alongside international oil
companies (IOCs) to undermine the operations of private refineries like Dangote
Petroleum Refinery.
During his address at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost
service, Adeboye called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention against
the actions of unscrupulous oil marketers who are intent on causing hardship
for the populace.
The cleric said that oil marketers are working hard to obstruct the
refinery’s operations, following previous sabotage incidents affecting
Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries.
Pastor Adeboye reminded the congregation that it was God who inspired
Aliko Dangote to create a refinery after many unsuccessful attempts to revive
the country’s four public refineries, which had wasted billions of Naira with
minimal success.
He raised concerns about the continued reliance on fuel imports, despite
Nigeria being a significant crude oil producer.
“Are we under a curse?” he asked. “We have four refineries, we
poured all kinds of money into them, none of them is working.
“But God raised someone to build a refinery that works. He is not my
relative; he is not from my village. He is not even a Christian, but he is a
Nigerian who says, ‘Why should my people suffer when I have the means to build
a refinery that can work?’ Now he is refining petrol, and some people want to
stop him from selling it, so they can keep importing.”
Recall that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria,
IPMAN has reached an agreement with Dangote Refinery to sell petrol to its
members directly.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are still buying petrol at N1060 and N1200 at NNPC
stations and other retail outlets.
