Pastor Adeboye reveals alleged plot to undermine Dangote refinery, others
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed an alleged scheme by a coalition of oil cabals and international oil companies (IOCs) to disrupt the operations of private refineries, including the newly built Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Speaking during the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye urged Nigerians to seek divine intervention, highlighting the actions of certain oil marketers who, he claimed, are intent on causing hardship for the Nigerian people.
According to the cleric, the oil marketers are actively working to obstruct the progress of private refineries, continuing a pattern of sabotage that has previously plagued Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries.
Pastor Adeboye’s comments shed light on a larger issue within Nigeria’s oil sector, where alleged underhanded tactics by oil interests hinder efforts to achieve energy independence and economic stability.
“Are we under a curse?” he asked. “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,” he said.
