“what does he know about the Govt” – Verydarkman asks as Dangote unveils his petrol sample, begins local distribution

• Nigerian social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as Verydarkman, has criticised billionaire entrepreneur Aliko Dangote for revealing the first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from his newly operational refinery.
• Dangote’s refinery, which has a capacity of 650,000 barrels-per-day, is transitioning from test runs to full-blown local distribution.
• However, Verydarkman is questioning the dramatic turn of events in Dangote’s battle with the government and why his refinery suddenly received the green light to produce petrol after numerous back-and-forths with authorities.

Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, a Nigerian social media activist, has put down the challenge in response to billionaire industrialist Aliko Dangote’s spectacular release of the first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from his newly operational refinery.

The refinery’s opening, announced on Tuesday during a high-profile webcast from Dangote’s vast Ibeju-Lekki plant, is anything but modest, with its massive 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity now moving from test runs to full-fledged local distribution.

But, although the refinery’s formal debut is creating news, Verydarkman is not holding back his criticism.

He’s questioning the dramatic turn of events in Dangote’s battle with the government, probing why the billionaire’s refinery has suddenly received the green light to produce petrol after numerous contentious back-and-forths with authorities.

His sharp critique delves into suspicions of covert government concessions and shady politics.

Verydarkman raised further alarming questions on the frightening prospect of Dangote monopolizing the oil sector, drawing parallels with his near-total control over the cement industry and other sectors.

In the recent press conference, Dangote expressed gratitude to the government for creating an enabling environment for the refinery’s operations.

Dangote emphasised that the refinery’s operations would not only meet Nigeria’s fuel demands but also supply the needs of sub-Saharan Africa.

He highlighted the refinery’s ability to track fuel consumption and distribution, ensuring transparency and accountability.
