For billionaire Aliko Dangote, these are not the best of times.
Recall that the President set up a team led by former FRCN boss, Jim Obazee to look into the books of CBN and other organizations. The Obazee Committee was said to have submitted its interim report to the President some weeks ago and since then, things have not been the same with the head of the Dangote conglomerate.
Villa sources confirmed that he had attempted to see the President about two weeks ago but waited for seven hours and was only able to see the President for between ten to fifteen minutes.
The meeting did not yield the desired result. Insiders revealed that Obazee findings indicted Dangote for collecting 3.4Billion dollars from Emefiele-led CBN and what he paid back was 1.9billion dollars in Naira value leaving an outstanding 1.5billion dollars which he didn't pay the naira equivalent. The President is said to have insisted that the 1.5billion dollars must be paid back. Moreover President is said to be miffed that a Nigerian could collect so much money in hard currency and didn't pay the Naira equivalent to the coffers of the government.
Since the first encounter did not yield any fruitful result, Dangote was said to have attempted to see the President again, but was not successful. Villa sources revealed that he waited in vain and as he couldn't see him in the office, he tried to ambush him during the Friday prayers at the Villa mosque where the President had gone for prayers but could only exchange greetings with Tinubu and had to leave after all efforts failed. According to our source, the President has really been avoiding him because of the implications of compromising the Obazee findings.
Confused and really disturbed, Dangote is said to have reached out to prominent Northern emirs to intercede on his behalf with the President so that he could be given a soft landing.
DANGOTE has never hidden his relationship with Emefiele while the latter presided over the CBN. At a point during the official commissioning of his refinery in Lagos, he told everyone present, including the then President that the refinery would not be standing but for Emefiele's support.

Dangote should just sell shares in his refinery to raise the outstanding 1.5billion dollars and pay CBN.

Just know that he gets to determine his price when his refinery produces petrol.

All Nigeria want is to renegotiate better terms - bigger stakes %, better pricing - he can't be selling us what he sell outsiders.

Anytime he is ready, let him indicate.

Abeg o .. Alhaji is a gentleman, I have seen pictures of his hair gone grey due to over thinking, but I never seen him looking this sober except when he lost his junior brother .. Everything would pass .. he should calm down...and not put Nigeria matter in his head.

Tinubu can step on toes and heads. He is the Mafia Lord, no idiot can lord over him

No credible source = beer parlor gist.

It is a very serious matter. Billions of dollars accumulating interests on daily basis. Refinery not completed, not even a drop of refined product.

As it stands now, Nigeria can help him. And Tinubu can if he is ready to offer Nigeria a better deal.

- Even if don't give cash, we can guarantee a new loan from creditors can will complete the project.

- Nigeria can guarantee crude oil supply to keep him in business.

But if he wants to chop alone, nobody will give him additional money without being certain Nigeria is onboard. And if he stays long, accumulated debt will force his hands.

This one na gossip no be report

Hmmmm

Fake news



Tinubu can't never do such a thing , not possible


Dangote is like Nigeria's prodigal son

One of the reasons naira is not strong...

If its an ordinary man, you'd have asked for him to be crucified but look how cowardly you're reacting to this news!

Oga goan pay your loan.

Your business has enjoyed special privilege for over 20years ranging from tax waivers, monopoly, import licenses e.t.c yet your local cement price is higher than international price.
Calling Northern emirs like a cry baby Wanting to whip off sentiments yet can't do same with his business.
This parasitic relationship has got to stop.

E be like say Tinibu wan take style deal with the north. Who dared snub Dangote!

THIS IS SERIOUS. BUHARI REALLY DELT CARELESSLY WITH NIGERIA.

PLEASE PUBLISH OBAZEE'S REPORT.

All this is a lie
Tinubu will never publish any report or fight any corruption
He is corruption himself
He's more about cutting deals than straightening things out

No wonder why his products are being sold at a highly exploitative rates to Nigerians. The other day he went and bought Peugeot automobile from PAN, tomatao s, sugar, salt, cement etc is now in his claws.. The sooner this northern monopoly is ended the better.

Dangote pay your dues! No hiding place for the wicked

VERY GOOD,THE MAN IS A CROOK.THEY USEd OUR BILLONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD STUPID ONE MAN INTEREST REFINERY,YET IT IS OF NO USEFUL CONTRIB TO REDUCING THE PRICE.BUHA IS A FRAUD WITH EMEFIELEE,THEY MUST ALLL REFUND OF DOLLARS IFSHA. NIGERIANS ARE IGNORAMUS,SEE YA ENEMIES OF 8YEARS MISRULE AND YOU CAN'T CURSE THEM TO OBLIVION TO VAPOURIZE,YET YOU DISBURB A MAN THAT ENTERED YESTRDAY,YOU HYPOCRITES.
THOSE FAILURES AND LOSERS NEX MOVE IS TO SABOTAGE THIS GOVT WITH CHEAP BLACKMAIL OF RELIGIOUS BIGOTORTY,BUT IT WILL NOT WORK FOR THEM EVIL PPL IFSHA.

This is where Atiku and Obi are pumping their money since they lost at the SC.

The new task is to pay journalists to begin to write a stories that would pitch Tinubu against the north.

I laugh when I see Obidients praising Tinubu that he is dealing with the North

DANGOTE SHOULD REFUND THE $3.4BN IN DOLLARS. THE CBN, EMEFIELE RATHER, SHOULD PAY BACK THE NAIRA FOR THE $1.9BN AND DANGOTE SHOULD PLOUGH IT BACK IN LOCAL INDUSTRIES. EMEFIELE IS THE THIEF IN THIS SAGA TRYING TO TEACH DANGOTE HOW TO THIEF SMARTLY. EMEFIELE IS ROTTEN. I WONDER HOW JONATHAN FOUND HIM AND EMPLOYED HIM FOR HIMSELF AND BUHARI.

Well, I think PBAT would reach a compromise with Dangote to convert the outstanding to shares so that NNPC stake will increase. My opinion which might not be

If he owes Nigeria, then yes I agree.

And Pbat should also consider giving shares of said NNPC to all Nigerians instead of privatising it, which is the equivalent of giving it away to the rich and wealthy only. Don't know how that would be done though.
