For the record. However, it's also pertinent to observe that, back when he was still in power, his administration, through his then spokesman Dr. Doyin Okupe, not only gave us the understanding but insisted that Nigeria could not have functional rail system. Since then, we've had a number of functional modern rail systems both at the national and subnational levels. We'll wait out his new assertion and see how it will pan out eventually, whether he will be proven right this time or as was the case with rail, his assertion will be found to be false.

[@publichealth9470]

@sixninety0 You're so uncouth! Actually, it's your father at home who's talking rubbish, not us. Moving on, my objection is that Obasanjo shouldn't have waited until the end of his tenure to hand over the refineries to Dangote in a $750 million partnership deal. He had ample time to address this issue earlier, which might explain why Yar'Adua was suspicious. Lastly, Obasanjo's decision to trust Shell was misguided, given the historical lack of support from Western nations for Africa's progress. He could have explored partnerships with countries like China or Russia instead.

You believed a company that don’t want your success instead of you to fix the problems mentioned you prefer to sell it to Dangote to do what pls

[@bisiyahaya6142]

Those refineries would be better off under a private company.

[@josephajayi6398]

@ NNPCL is a private limited private company I believe it will soon go on public and it will be most subscribed company in whole of Africa

[@bisiyahaya6142]

@@josephajayi6398 Yeah, they are private on paper now. When this offer came they weren't. NNPC could have been the shining light in Nigeria but we all know how that went. The Nigerian oil sector is a murky water filled with lies and more lies. I would believe a man can become a woman overnight before I believe anything they say.

[@chimdi_samuel]

So the presidency is powerless?!

[@user-kp1yj8go8o]

Baba, refineries are now working sir

[@solidmanchinedu]

How much re you buying fuel today in Nigeria?( Brainwashed)

[@wolfswinkel8906]

its arguable that they're not working. A few hundred liters per day is not "working". If they're working we should feel the effect IMMEDIATELY.

[@olawaleoladele604]

​@@solidmanchinedu the price you were buying fuel before was an artificially suppressed price ,we were literally burning money to freeze the economy in place and this man right here is the one that started it all. Any where in the world ,i could give you countless case studies any system in which subsidies are introduced is rife with fraud,inefficiencies and a complete lack of innovation. How many private refineries have been Announced Since subsidy program was removed ,may be not all of them would come to fruition but i can guarantee you there'll be more refineries opened thats how you get prices down, Competition not subsidies thats just robbing peter to pay paul. Please be more enlightened about policy and developmental issues so politicians like this one can stop lying to you

[@joshuaelaiho2201]

How many liters are they selling now from those refinery? Phc they on blending plant for 1 day load 1 truck for Camera then no more action till date. Why is Nigerian govt so meshed in lies and propaganda, no need for hide and seek, if it's working let the market reflect it. I lived in warri for most of my life, if that refinery is working alot of activities would improve even the dead would know production is going on. The roads would have more trucks Coming from the refinery road to join express to Bayelsa. Benin, Phc to access different states. Just get to that point before the drama and film Shows.

[@opeyemii.2869]

Working I agree but will it deliver as Baba said? Has the price reduced drastically?

[@ayordele1]

Just listen to this armed robber saying $2b has been spent on refineries not working…. The same man who said he spent $16b on electricity that we still don’t have.

[@olaolugboyega9559]

Wisdom from baba

[@joshuaelaiho2201]

The vibe around that refinery is like a fool at 40. They keep telling stories yet NNPC is still importing fuel.

[@OkechukwuChinonso-fb2sl]

There is no excuses here OBJ should just accept his faliure for eight years of his Government none of the Refinery worked

[@isaaca2676]

Well done baba, you did your best! Many of the people attacking what he said cannot even rear chickens successfully talk more of managing people. OBJ remains Nigeria's all time best president.

What of if it eventually works?

[@adeolaogunleye7965]

How can you believe Shell when they don't want your refinery to work so that they can keep getting the crude oil from you for dirty cheap price. OBJ dropped the ball there.

[@obinnaebele2530]

Nigeria will never good corruption

[@olanola2988]

Ahmed Faruk said Dangote is a Monopoly. Me: Dangote is a lucky man to handoff Government refinaries, build a new one for himself. They do'nt want any functional Refinary in Nigeria. Stay tune for the next episode.. They were too smart for Yardua, GEJ, & Buhari...

[@ochonganokwu]

But why did Obj believe Shell ? How could he trust them?

[@bendike]

Are you dense?

[@KazeemAdebiyi]

Regional is the best solution

[@safetyalways7788]

Corruption is the problem of this country...that's why multinationals are running away from Nigeria..to show we're not really ready to fight corruption in Nigeria, OBJ mentioned it last as the 4th reason why shell turned down to take over our refineries

[@emmanuelchiekwe946]

The refineries both Portharcourt and Warri are not working, they are just farm tanks where they stock fuels bought from Dangote refineries in Lagos that is why fuel is cheaper in Lagos than port-harcourt, when the cost of transporting from Lagos to port-harcourt is added. Let us see how long they will sustain the lies and deceit.

[@smgcom2908]

I don't like this man mr liar

[@alabashittu3988]

Let Dangote handle it

[@woleayoade4784]

Obj should be humble to take a short trip to portharcourt and Warri refinery to confirm the claims by the NNPC. Baba is still in awe at the doings of President Tinubu. Baba Obasanjo failed Nigeria, he should take a back seat

[@rayakusu-fosterB]

"REFERENCE; PROF WALE! PASTOR, CHIEF OBJ IS AN ECONOMIA ILLITERATE" ❤🇬🇧❤

[@tobioguntunde8614]

Baba too dey drop bombshell. Make Baba tell us the truth about Nigeria instead of giving us small small 😅

[@sammn6186]

Nigerians leaders need to speak out more and start pointing fingers to elements of sabotage impeding progress so that Nigerians can be informed. Nigeria is a very complicated country and aside internal forces, there are also external forces the likes of USA, UK France and the rest, funding corruption in Nigeria. It’s not in their best interest for Nigeria to be better.

[@olawaleoladele604]

The father of the subsidy program himself wondering why actually competent business people not oligarchs (and dangote is who I'm referring too,I'm glad NNPC rejected his offer,he may have extended his monopoly to such a vital sector much sooner at least now there'sa fighting chance to block it if capital is mobilized quickly enough) were refusing to run refineries and operate in a system rife with fraud because of his useless subsidy program. Thats rich lol

[@ikecosmas8398]

Lol he already has the monopoly regardless. And like obj said his own will work and deliver bcos its private!! These nnpc refineries will break down in one year and all the maintenance money stolen. Mark my word

[@afolabifatusin7211]

In my own case I congratulate dangote for not buying those refineries. People like you would have been shouting monopoly. Obviously you prefer importers monopoly for more than 20 years than having functional refineries. Well like the first response here said he will ultimately gain that advantage if the refineries are left with nnpc to manage. Tinubu should begin the process of privatizing the refineries if he wants any good thing to happen

[@active_8]

Baba accept your mistake and move on. You misspoke as an elder. You are not the only ex-president but your problem is that you do not want to see any good coming out of Nigeria. Tinubu is not Jonathan that you bullied. Accept that and know peace.
