Peter Obi Ignored as Aliko Dangote Thanks Tinubu, Buhari, Fashola, and Sanwo-Olu for the Success of the Refinery

May 22, 2023

Lagos, Nigeria - In a surprising turn of events, Peter Obi, the former Vice Presidential candidate of the opposition party, was seemingly ignored by Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, as he expressed gratitude to key political figures for the success of his refinery project.

During the grand opening ceremony of the Dangote Refinery, which took place today in Lagos, Aliko Dangote took the stage to acknowledge the individuals who played a significant role in the realization of this monumental project. However, to the surprise of many, Peter Obi, a prominent political figure in Nigeria, was noticeably absent from the list of acknowledgments.

Dangote, in his speech, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari, Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola, and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. He commended their unwavering support, which he claimed played a vital role in the success of the refinery.

The Dangote Refinery, one of the largest and most advanced oil refineries in the world, has been hailed as a game-changer for Nigeria's economy. The multi-billion-dollar project aims to reduce the country's dependence on imported refined petroleum products and create job opportunities for thousands of Nigerians.

While Dangote's recognition of prominent politicians is not entirely unexpected, the omission of Peter Obi from his list raised eyebrows among political observers. Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and a respected voice in Nigeria's political landscape, has been a vocal critic of the current administration's policies and has championed alternative approaches to economic development.

Some political analysts believe that the exclusion of Peter Obi from Dangote's acknowledgments could be attributed to their differing political ideologies and the ongoing political rivalry between the ruling party and the opposition. However, others argue that it may simply be an oversight or an unintentional omission on Dangote's part.

Peter Obi's camp has yet to issue an official statement regarding his exclusion from the list. However, it is expected that the matter will fuel further debate and speculation in the Nigerian political sphere.

As the Dangote Refinery begins its operations, all eyes are on the impact it will have on Nigeria's economy. The project has the potential to transform the country's oil sector and attract foreign investments. Nevertheless, the incident at the opening ceremony serves as a reminder of the complex web of politics and alliances that influence Nigeria's development landscape.

He should recognize him in the speech for what actually?

Peter Obi is not part of the deal...so, he can not be invited ....


Let him go to Capital Oli and re-open the company for Ifeanyi Uba...

For your information Obi no get problem with dangote. Dangote is a nigeria man that is doing great for the country.

What sort of rubbish is this… what has Peter Obi got to do with Dangote refinery. Is like Peter Obi gives you high bp. You better go and get your life sorted.

Dangote is a business man and all business men want one thing ( to be left in peace).

If praising Tinubu will get him peace and funds he will do it. That doesn't mean he likes Tinubu, it's just business.

So Obi should be praised and acknowledged if when he had zero input in success story.

What has Obi done in the actualisation of the monumental project ... he is just a mandate seeker qed

Nigeria politics, progress and stability is PO.
If not why a high interest on him.

Dangote built a refinery with Initial Investment & tax payers money, so that PO will be pained & not recognized at the inauguaral Speech.

Some group of creatures don cast Nainja finish

Nawa to una o

Some of you are just trying to create issues where there's none. Making a mountain out of a Molehill. Must Dangote acknowledge Mr. Peter OBI in his speech. You guys are just too Obsessed with Peter OBI and can't stay a whole day without mentioning his name. Did he mention Atiku?

all this sycophants self
Is Peter Obi the only vip there
abi lagos no get important people again apart from tinubu and samwolu, why did dangote not thank them.

Was Peter Obi invited to the occasion in the first place or he just went on his own in search of undeserved relevance ?
If he had any honour at all, he shouldn't have gone there at all.
But he doesn't appear to be a man of honour anyway.

How can this make head line? Must Dangote greet Peter Obi? Is not when you greet sunny, sunny will greet you back.

Rubbish news

Peter Obi is a demented thief to expect any recognition for a project that he had no input in. The idiot just wanted media attention that he desperately craves for.

So Obi should be praised and acknowledged if when he had zero input in success story.
