Popular social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has said Bola Tinubu’s administration almost brought Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote to the point of tears.
VeryDarkMan said Tinubu’s administration brought Dangote close to tears due to challenges his refinery is encountering.
On Saturday, Dangote disclosed that he did not enjoy any incentive from the Nigerian government to build his $20bn refinery sited at the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
He stated that he bought the land of the refinery for $100 million. He further also alleged that several regulations by the Nigerian government targeted the functionality of the refinery.
However, reacting in a video, VeryDarkMan said: “Tinubu’s regime brought Africa’s richest man, Dangote close to tears during an interview, the economy is so bad that Dangote was reminiscing when his friend cautioned him against investing in Nigeria.

“I watched the interview where he said he bought the land for the refinery with $100,000 million. My question to the Nigerian government is that when he was building the refinery, why wasn’t he told that there was no crude oil for him? After building the refinery, you told him no crude oil is in Delta State, Edo, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and so on.
“Even with him going to Brazil to source crude oil, the high and mighty informed those there, that he had no licence, and now he wants to sell it. But the issue is that the money he claimed to have used in building the refinery is public funds and not his personal money. “
