How Yar’Adua was pressurised to revert refineries sold to Dangote-Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that his immediate successor, Late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua reversed the sale of two of the country’s refineries which had been finalized before he left office due to “pressure.”

The revelation was made in his serialised interview with “Book Club,” which aired on Channels Television yesterday.


According to Obasanjo, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, leading a consortium of investors had pad $750 million for the two refineries as the Federal Government was unable to manage them at the time, adding that Yar’Adua failed to consolidate on the sale of the refineries so the investors could revamp them, but fell to pressure and cancelled the sale.

He said: “The refineries are old and Dangote and some investors paid $750m for two of the refineries. My successor came to office and reversed the sale. He even refunded the money they paid.

“So, I went to him and said ‘why did you do this?’ He said it was because of pressure. So, I said ‘so the pressure of some people was more important than the interest of the whole nation?’

“Right now, you will hardly be able to sell the refineries for more than $250m because they are very old,” said Obasanjo.

Which Dangote and Otedola?, who give dem lincense?

"In the dying days of his administration in 2007, President Olusegun Obasanjo sold 51 percent of federal government's stakes in two of Nigeria's four ailing refineries to Bluestar Oil Services Ltd — a consortium floated by Dangote Oil, Zenon Oil and Transcorp Plc — for $761 million."

Google is your friend my friend

Try to dey use your brain abeg. why OBJ himself no sell am?, trying to sell refinery 3 or 4months before you leave office, na how to sell be that?. Nobody go buy any refinery if Government no fix am first.
This refinery will work, all dis SS youths protesting because of deve, dem no get sense, if to say Dangote refinery dey SS, e for never complete am today.

Dangote and Otedola that brought it then we're fools abi? Come back again after December and see if it worked or not.

As for your last paragraph. I'm sure you didn't read the article to the end as you people find it difficult to read. All you do is to jump.

The complaining there wasn't about the youths complaining about local content alone. Maybe when you read it well you will know

Ode wey we no use him brain wey dey abuse someone

When Obasanjo was telling them the other time that it cannot work they were ranting here and there. He knows better than these people that are nothing but propagandists

Sell off the damm thing and see it working. But make he be in the hands of the government,sorry it won't work from here till tomorrow

Because he supports Palestine means you have to suspend him? That bullsh.it.

He has a right to support whoever he wants to. He can even support Hamas sef. That's his own problem

#seyiismyfriend

Watching Mark Regev,Senior Advisor to Netayanhu right now on CNN, confirming the rocket attack was done by the Islamic Jihad. One of Hamas little babies

Like the Yoruba will say, Ti eyan ba so Oko si Oja,ara Ile eni ni a ba.

Oshisko.

Fibonacci88:
They were warned to leave and shut down that hospital. This warning message was sent days ago. The hospital in question was mentioned. Hamas should be held responsible. U dig tunnels and hide behind hospital and school to send rocket to Israel and u expect them to fold Thier hands. With all the bombings this idiots ate still launching rockets daily into Israel but some ppl claiming woke will be accusing Israel of Genocide. Imagine if Israel didn't hav a robust air defense system.

Leave them. First to do no dey pain. You see people like this,they can't accept 1/3 of what they give out. They can't at all. But you react they will be angry and embittered. So you hit them the more.

I hope Isreal even uses this to launch the ground assault tonight and shut down the whole of that terrorist infested place

Watched on CNN moments ago with Isreal denying an saying it is Hamas themselves that did it. When we were telling them the price of war isn't small. It is serious they think na joke

They ain't seen nothing yet .

You see where he was killed? In the refugee camp. When we tell you Hamas uses civilian places to attack Isreal some people go dey talk otherwise

They put their weapons of war infrastructure among civilians and when Isreal hits them back them go dey cry

"Your friend or yourself"

Won ti do werey

Money wey them borrow from World Bank. Wey na politicians pocket he go enter..

Pablo,I carry yansh for una oo..

Wetin dey worry that Ndume sef. Someone else is SP already he should get the fucck out

DoTheNeedful:
If PDP is serious about reconciling with the SE, they should zone 2027 to the SE. That region has been very loyal to the party, but they have always been using and dumping them.

From what I see, this "reconciliation" attempt by PDP is the handwriting of Atiku (the perennial contestant) trying to position himself for 2027.

You get it. But they won't learn. Atiku still wants to contest 2027 and he will lose as it is still the turn of the South

Oloshi ni awon eleyi ni ti won. They ni know pass more wives. Having more wives is only for those that has money not for civil servants.

Haba!

FreeStuffsNG:
He should please go and rest joor. When he was doing street fight with his constituents, fighting in toy shop, having marital scandals, fighting his APC excos and refusing to campaign for his party's presidential candidate, he didn't know that he was alienating himself and was just a matter of time. Smh
Check my signature for free stuffs!

So he didn't campaign for Tinubu? Why?

sweerychick:
hehehe the same Al Mustapha that murdered Abiolas wife Kudirat this is gonna be interesting

Extremely interesting. Broke the news to my Dad yesterday and he was like What.

As in Major Hamza Al-Mustapha. Abacha's right hand Man. Ahahaha. The very people Nadeco fought against in which this same Bulabalu was a part of Nadeco then o.

Omo,We need a Jerry Rawlings type of revolution in Nigeria. We are fuvvckin due for it cos WTF is this

TotoGame:
Not true....National and state assembly election petitions ends at the Appeal court while Gov and Presidential ends at the Supreme court

Okay,I knew it was before. I thought it has been revised for the Govornship to stay at the appeal.

Thanks for calling my notice to it

UnemployedGradu:
I don't understand what you wrote. Gov and Presidential ends at court of appeal?

No,The Presidential goes to the supreme court. The Govornship and others ends at the court of Appeal I think

UnemployedGradu:
he still has right to go to the supreme court

It ends at the court of appeal for Govornship and the Federal and state houses of Assembly.

slivertongue:
End of the road for APC intimacy senator.

This is the comment I dey look for. You need to see the caption sahareporters used .

"
BREAKING: Court Of Appeal Sacks Sex To. y Lover, Adamawa Senator, Elisha Abbo"

Evening Newspapers consoling themselves

In Wike's gruffy voice "All fake"

They are jokers. Them go come tear gas all of them now.

The government did an appointment you staff wey government dey pay say you don't want. Wait,Who you be?

seunH:
To buttress your point sir, if you remember the time the house of assembly wanted to impeach Donald Trump, despite been impeached by the House of reps (Dominated by Democrats), it was the Senate house (Dominated by republicans) that voted against his impeachment without even considering the evidence before them, would we then called them "rubber stamp". So sir you are so on point!!!!

Exactly. Trump was even impeached by the House twice. Yet the Majority of the Senate threw it out.

If the house of representatives impeaches Biden today,The Senate too will throw it out. Just like the GOP impeached Clinton and the Senate too threw it out.

It's politics. And except if it is a very very big crime. They will just over look it. Politics isn't always 2 plus 2. It might just be 22 at times instead of 4.

He wasn't the best. The issue he had with his then party then,The APC was the one that made him look like a special person sort of.

If he were to be the candidate of his party for the senate president,he wouldn't have given the Buhari administration any problem whatsoever. But because he wasn't. He planned a civilian coup sort of. He was in their black books and they needed to remove him at all cost and he also dealt with them by denying them of critical bills and what have you

However,this appellation of "rubber stamp senate" isn't fair. Sentiments apart. You see even in the US. As the Dems are in control of the Senate. No matter what Biden brings to them,they will sign it. That is why the ruling party always want to control the House and Senate so the Executive won't have any problem passing laws. It is Politics and it happens all around the world.

But talking about the best senate president. I think the best is Anyim Pius Anyim. Dude stabilized the Senate president seat after, Late Evans Ewerem,Late Chuba Okadigbo, Adolphus Warbara were removed back to back.

I'll give it to him. He stabilized the seat till they left government in 2007

Lovenorth:
He knew that death is inevitable unlike the Jew terrorists, Muslims are not afraid of death, every soul must taste death

No problem. His virgins are waiting for him. Or won't you wanna follow him too?virgins are sweet or you don't know

Oshi

I don't think he will allow himself to be killed.
The coward will run into Tehran where that terrorist state will give him cover.

Bunch of cowards

SIONKPO1:
Al-manar is Hezbollah propaganda channel.
My problem with your type is that you Celebrates whenever Israel seemed Attacked but wailed whenever Israel Destroys Southern Lebanon.
Let me School you small?
*Southern Lebanon is dominated by Shiite Muslims which has Hezbollah
*Northern. Lebanon has the Maronite Christians as majority and they also have their own militia
*While Central lebanon has the Sunni backed Militia men.
The SUNNI Muslims Hates the shias with passion and will do anything to destroy shiasm.
Go get a decent life

Thank you for explaining in simple English to him. The problem with some of these people is that they just started to follow news during the era of SM so they don't seem to know the truth except the gibberish they read on SM

I am hoping Hezbollah joins this war when Isreal starts the official pounding of Gaza. What happened to them in 2006 will be child's place when all these is done.

They should stop the little rocket and missile launching they are doing and come out for a full scale war and let's see who blinks first

Bunch of cowards

OnionBandit:
God bless the great Yoruba people

For nwanem bLoders to do this, they would rather focus on cannibalism, baby factory business, rituals, onion banditry, toxicity on and off social media, terrorism and so on

Spits

Olodo ni e.

It might be girls from the SE,SS,North,SW that jointly built this. But because it is in Sagamu you already thought it was done only by Yoruba girls

But because you don't know. That FGGC means Federal government girls college a federal government unity school that has students from all over the country. You think it's only Yoruba girls that attend the school .

Olodo arindin atole

blacksam01:
i watch Aljazeera all the time..they are anti isreal..

alwayd doing documentary on how Israel is maltreating amd killing muslims...

rubbish station

Very rubbish yeye station. They are indirectly complaining that Isreal is fighting back. But you will never ever see them condem Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region

Was watching their YouTube live this afternoon. If I were the Isreali guy they were interviewing I would have called the interviewer stupid cos I was visibly angry but the guy was very patient.

They don't even try to hide it.

See where they started History from? So where were the Isreali's living before 1823 or where did they start their own history from

Guess they have forgotten when they were in Isreal and we're ruled and conquered by the Romans.

Wayre station

NaijaNaWaa:
Tinubu is digging a very deep ethnic pit. He’ll soon fall into it. The extent of his nepotism is totally senseless.

Rumours say James Ifaleke will be the next NPA boss.

We wait and see.
