Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, claims that there is a conspiracy involving Nigerian oil cabals and International Oil Companies to prevent private refineries, including the newly built Dangote Refinery, from operating effectively.
“Are we under a curse? We have four refineries. We poured all kinds of money into them, but none of them are 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.”
“The masses are the ones suffering because these marketers, who are bent on keeping imports alive, already have more money than they can ever spend.”
