Arise Television show host, Rufai Oseni, has said that the credit for the Dangote Refinery belongs to former President Muhammadu Buhari and embattled former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, not President Bola Tinubu.
Oseni said this after the Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, NRS, Zacch Adedeji, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme on Sunday, mentioned the growing contribution of the Dangote Refinery to local fuel supply.
Reacting, Oseni said, “When they try to say Dangote Refinery is a product of this administration? It’s not a product of this administration.”
“It was the same Buhari administration that kept Naira stable, and the Emefiele they call names today was the one that kept Naira stable so that Dangote would be able to build that refinery,” he added.
He then revealed that the Federal Government is yet to fulfil its commitment to Dangote Refinery.
“Do you know that Dangote still has to go and buy Nigerian crude on the international market and bring it back?” He asked.
Speaking further, Oseni admitted that the Tinubu administration has recorded gains with its policies but urged the government to hold itself accountable for the negative effect faced by Nigerians.
“Yes, it got some wins. I mean, we don’t shy away from that, but also the debilitating effect of what was done on the economy is something we’ve not recovered from.
“The corporate sector shovel of about over 3 trillion in forex problems alone, which they are rebounding on their books.
“The GDP shovel of over 100 something billion, but the individual cost on the lives of people that you and I are both paying- can they bring out that cost?” Oseni asked.
