Nigerian activist and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has expressed pity for business mogul, Aliko Dangote amid his current woes.
He said the challenges his refinery is encountering under President Bola Tinubu’s government is so bad that it nearly moved Africa’s richest man to tears.
VeryDarkMan accused the Tinubu-led administration of wrecking Nigeria’s economy so terribly that Dangote is reminiscing on past conversartions.
“Four years ago, one of my very wealthy friends began to invest his money abroad. I disagreed with him and urged him to rethink his actions in the interest of his country.
“He blamed his action on policy inconsistencies and shenanigans of interest groups. That friend has been taunting me in the past few days, saying he warned me and that he has been proven right,” Dangote said in part.
Recall that on Saturday while receiving leadership of the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his Deputy Benjamin Kalu, the billionaire said he bought the land of the refinery for $100 million.
In a video reaction posted online, 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.”
