Oil cabals don’t want Dangote refinery to work – Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, recently voiced concerns over powerful oil cabals and international oil companies working to hinder private refineries in Nigeria, including the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. Speaking at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service, Adeboye urged Nigerians to pray against the actions of oil marketers who he believes are orchestrating challenges for local refineries, leading to hardships for citizens.

Adeboye also highlighted that Nigeria continues to rely heavily on fuel imports despite being a major crude oil producer. He shared that it was divine inspiration that led Aliko Dangote to establish the refinery after government efforts to revitalize Nigeria’s state-owned refineries had failed, wasting billions of Naira.

Adeboye said: “Are we under a curse? 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.”
