Pastor Adeboye: Oil Marketers, IOCs Plotting To Destroy Dangote Refinery

Man of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has accused oil marketers in the country of diabolical plot against the Dangote Refinery.

The respected clergy made the remark on Wednesday in Abuja the nation’s capital during his address at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service.

He spoke amidsts the clash between the marketers and management of the $20 billion refinery.

The owner of the refinery who is also the wealthiest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote recently accused oil marketers and some government agencies of trying to frustrate his business.

Dangote had accused them of importing petroleum products rather than buying from him, the marketers in turn accused Dangote of selling products above the competitive price.

The protagonists appeared to have come into agreement after a recent intervention by the federal government.

Speaking yesterday, Adeboye said some oil cabals of working alongside international oil companies, IOCs, are trying to ensure that Dangote do not succeed.

The cabals are trying to kill the refinery the same way they did to the country’s four refinery, he said, noting that despite the huge amount spent to revive the refineries they are still moribund, stressing that the Dangote Refinery will save the country from continuous reliance on importation of petroleum products.

Adeboye said, “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.”
