Bayo Onanuga Knocks Obasanjo As Port Harcourt Refinery Resumes Operation by PressMyButton(op): 6:41am On Nov 27, 2024
The Presidency has knocked former President Olusegun Obasanjo following news of that trucks have started loading Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at the Port Harcourt refinery.

In 2023, Obasanjo expressed the belief that Nigeria’s refineries won’t work as long as they were controlled by government.

He also stated that based on information he got from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) about the refineries, effort by President Bola Tinubu to get them running by December 2024 won’t be successful.

“Today, we are still where we were. Someone told me Tinubu said refineries would work by December. I told the person the refineries would not work. This is based on the information I received from Shell when I was the president,” he told The Cable.

Reacting, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, reminded Obasanjo that “only Almighty God possesses the divine authority to declare what is achievable or not.”
He said this in a post on X , titled, ‘Never Say Never: A Lesson For All Mortals,’ as the Port Harcourt refinery began operations, producing petroleum products against all odds and skepticism.”

He said the development serves as a profound reminder to all of humanity, including Nigeria’s former leaders, that perseverance, determination, and faith in our capabilities can overcome even the harshest challenges.

Let us learn from this moment that limits are often set by our own doubts, and with collective effort and unwavering resolve, we can bring about the change we seek, Onanuga concluded.

Okay, it was more of a motivational talk than a direct attack on Obj...

Obasanjo is an elder's states man and should always be respected. I would have been disappointed if it was a direct attack on his person. I believe Obj means well.

Good news like these never never show up on the news feed of lamba king. Na only bad news that one de see

This is smoke screening...

Reason being, FG didn't take our refineries serious or even try to develop more refineries until Dangote became successful in building one.

All of a sudden because they want to protect their profits, vested interests and very possibly their businesses outside the shores of the country (which should have been domicile in-country to keep the money in)... we had news like

-- FG considering 4 Korean refineries, like what is the obsession with fattening the pockets of outsiders instead of developing our human resource and being our people centric?

-- Now Port Harcourt refinery resume, simply to cut into the supply to Dangote refinery to have excuse to not to supply him the crude he needs, to frustrate him...


Why the sudden interest in other refineries if Dangote's presence in the space wasn't motivation? where were they all this while....?

I pray that even the average joe on the streets of Nigeria see and understand their game play and develop an advanced consumerism aptitude because these people and institutions who should be custodians of the Nigerian integrity and security are doing the opposite and are behaving non-state in state positions..

This has been bursted as a lie. Typical SW propaganda and lies. PH refinery has not resumed at all.

They purchased C5 resin cracked it and loaded it into trucks for camera photos and videos just to claim that Tinubu has fixed the refinery undecided

Never seen a people so addicted to lies deceit fake stats and propaganda
sense is still far from u, even the source u got the information said they cracked C5 resin and blended with naphta to produce only petrol while the other products are directly from the refinery.
The plant is 70% complete and that is why petrol is not yet produced

As you were also told by your "sauce" working in Dangote refinery that Dangote refinery does not produce oil, it was only a depot reselling imported fuel. Shameless headless mob

I'll remind you that you're peddler of misinformation. You're mixing politics with governance.

I accepted the news as truth base on video evidences from reputable TV stations in Nigeria.

cool

I see no reason anyone in their right senses will try to convince people who believed Buhari was dead and a clone was the president back then with proves from NMK!

And OBJ shouldn't be the one talking at all in this Nigeria! He was given the 8 years to do his best and he couldn't do much! Just because he can't do it doesn't mean others couldn't!

May all those who do not want Nigeria to be better die very soon!
