Refinery: You Have Dealt A Death Blow To The So-called Local Cabals-Femi Otedola Tells Dangote
Nigerian Industrialist, Femi Otedola has reacted after it was reported that Dangote refinery has begun processing petroleum.
Femi Otedola stated on his verified Twitter page on Tuesday; “My Dear Brother Aliko, first and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to President Bola Tinubu for his unwavering support and belief in actualizing this monumental achievement under his administration.”
He added; “This day belongs to every Nigerian who has dared to dream of a better future. Congratulations to our great nation—today, we all stand a little taller. Aliko, it feels like just yesterday, but it has been 25 long years since we first set our sights on transforming Nigeria’s energy landscape.”
He noted; “I remember vividly when we set up the Blue Star Consortium to acquire stakes in the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries—20% for me and 51% for you. We were ready to change the game, but fate had other plans. The government of the day, in an act I can only describe as utterly obnoxious, canceled our stakes and thwarted our vision. But, as always, you refused to be deterred.”
Femi Otedola stated further; “You have dealt a death blow to the so-called local cabals. They have fattened themselves for years, feeding off our nation’s economic slavery. These cabals, who have grown rich by keeping Nigeria in a perpetual state of dependence, must now face the reality that their era of easy gains is coming to an end.”
