At the press conference announcing the increased capacity of the Dangote refinery from its present 650,000 mbpd to 1.4 mbpd, one cheeky journalist asked Oga: Instead of increasing this one, why not buy government ones?
In my estimation, that was a very “stupid” question to ask – apologies, my egbon Femi Fani-Kayode – because this is a man that is being accused of being a monopolist, and now you are asking him to go and buy the remaining refineries in the market.
In a sarcastic turn, Alhaji asked them to tell DAPMANN, his main opponent, to go and buy na, and where that failed, the people who are “more liquid than us” should go and buy na.
Shebi, one person, just donated N10 billion to his state’s Security Trust Fund. Let that one build a consortium and go and buy. Shebi, we just heard that his townsman moved N11billion to his former oga and, as a result, has entered trouble with those investigating the attempted putsch.
Instead of using their money for good and buying refineries, it is this one that this Baba has put his blood and tears into that we are coming to be taunting.
Mbok, let me even talk about something better. I have seen a report saying Alhaji has clocked the $30billion mark, and I am very happy for him o. What is even surprising to me is that I will leave my own net worth, which is about N20,000 as I write, to go and hail Alhaji each time he moves up on the Forbes list. This is what you get when you are an inspiration. Well done, my Oga, keep the flag flying.
