It was with Buhari that I learnt that APC goons are hypocrites

Doesn't matter.
Government should be a continuum.
Buhari commissioned and took credit for projects initiated before his time and the next President will take credit for developments Mr. Tinubu will not be able to commission.

Svoboda:
Nobody is talking about subsidy here. There was subsidy when Dangote obtained license and began construction. The original Nigerian govt idea was to increase local capacity while subsidy is withdrawn. Even at that, one may ask what subsidy has even got to do with local refining when some countries with enough refining capacity still subsidize fuel for their respective populations.

I insist that Buhari takes the sole credit. The licensing, construction, and commissioning happened under him, even to the point that it was alleged that emefiele sold cheap dollars to dangote. Tinubu could have tried to sabotage, after all, we all heard of the Malta blending controversy when Dangote was content creating over a lack of crude supply and fighting off rumours that his products burnt faster than the imported variant, until the govt ostensibly yielded to pressure.

Yes, the president has enormous powers, no doubt, but there are blowbacks to major actions.

We all saw him fold when he ordered the refreezing of the Osun state account.

But he didn't fold when he declared state of emergency in Rivers State. The way some of you underestimate sitting president ehhhhn.

I am yet to understand the naira stability, this Oseni is talking about

MDDarah84:
I am yet to understand the naira stability, this Oseni is talking about

He obviously doesn't know the meaning of stability

See this Rufai - is a very Bitter and Hateful personality,
So how did Dangote Came to Establish the Refinery in Lagos ,if Tinubu did Not Allowed It ⁉️
Is it by Buhari suggestions or Emiefe-that could- Not account for NTrillion Money 💰🤑 in the Ways and Means-CBN -Unaccounted Funds?
Rufai Oseni -is a biased man on Arise Opposition Tv by a Thisday - Owner and he believes that he is staying on the Television 📺 set to bear his fangs on Tinubu's Govt,but he should do better to balance ⚖️ his analysis!
•For Without Tinubu - No Dangote and Tinubu Saw Tomorrow in This Investments Before Anyone ,
Or Why Can't the Ogun State Governor then -Allowed Dangote to establish the Refinery there- in the First Place Of Approach ?

Didn't Dangote pay for the land?

tunjilana:
For a project that Lagos state govt "carry for head" since inception

Nigerians are already used to this pattern. They are like two cojoined Siamese twins.

First they abused buhari, called him all sort of names even though he was doing a lot of projects at the time but because they don't like him as not being their preferred candidate, every good things about him was sholved aside.

Now that he is no longer in power, he has become their angel, their eyes have suddenly opened to the good things he did while he was president.

This pattern would still repeat itself with Tinubu,, all the good things they failed to see now, their eyes would definitely be opened to them when he live power, and the next administration after that. God bless Nigeria

If Dangote goes to buy Nigeria crude oil and bring it back is because the Buhari you conderned yesterday but prasing today sold our crude oil in advance to finance the country to pay for subsidy you quack journalist.

If it is not for Tinubu removing subsidy Dangote Refinery would have been buying all its crude oil from overseas because Nigeria could not afford not to sell the limited crude we are able to drill and export before illegal refinery that were prevalent then got more crude drilled by nigeria more than Nigeria herself got to sell.

Tinubu made sure the Dangote Refinery operated optimally and if he had been president when Dangote started building then it wouldn't have taken as long as it took for it to have been completed.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Hate and politics aside but anyone who truly love this country and had clear understanding of the situation of the Nigeria not just the problems of the country but the causes of the problem would give credit to president Tinubu for all he had done so far and by the special grace of God who gave him victory against all odds in 2023 will surely give Tinubu victory in 2027.

We know already. Left to tinubu, the refineries wouldn't come on stream for his selfish gains. He's an enemy of progress pretending to believe in one Nigeria. He's only there for himself, allies and family, unlike baba awolowo who was selfless and loving.

When buhari came for the commissioning of the refineries here, tinubu ran abroad and baba made a statement than Nigeria is bigger than an individual. The sin emefiele committed was because he worked against Tinubu's election. Very wicked man. There's no CBN governor who's clean. The system had permitted them to do that cos its been there from time immemorial, same template Beta Edu met and nailed her. It's known to all of them.

The Soludo who had suddenly become a friend of the apc today knew why he had to. But because he wasnt caught, he was seen as saint. Tinubu knows their secrets and they too know his secrets. That's why we've been saying vote them out cos as long as they keep holding sway, Nigeria will never move forward. They've lived their life. This is our era. If you like keep supporting them over sentiments.

I member when SLS donated one billion naira to Kano during that disaster that befall kano that year as cbn governor. That was when naira was still naira. Today, that money is worth over 10bn naira so, emefiele didn't do the abnormal. He merely acted on the existing template ni. Only the poor will be screaming over the buildings he had in abuja. Had Soludo not been stopped, his Company would have ended up printing our notes. It costs billions of naira to set up such a Company. They're all thieves but because they're not caught, the gullible are worshipping them. They'd never like Obi because they know he'll expose them all and deal with them. May God's wish prevail

Mumu, how will it make sense if we are still burning cash paying ludicrous fuel subsidy......

You have been forbidden for life from making sense on this forum. Poor you

Your own bitterness must be factory made

9jatriot:
Every day, you guys try to paint Buhari as a failure, but when a road is commissioned, we hear that it was Buhari who did it, now, Buhari is credited with the refinery. Does that mean you guys have been lying about the poor man?

Na you dey mind the silly things. To them, Tinubu can inherit his predecessor’s failures but not his legacies😂
I guess Rufai Oseni knows more than Dangote because he himself personally and specially thanked Tinubu for making the dream come alive and for paving the way for it.

But obidients do call APC evil 🤣

Is APC not evil again??

AMINDA:
Buhari was the best civilian president who governed Nigeria as far as tangible infrastructural projects are concerned. He did all that while still paying all forms of subsidies and battling two recessions with covid 19 pandemic. Facts! It's Tinubu's lackeys who spent 8 years defending Buhari only to turn 360 to begin insulting him for 3 years. It's few months to elections and they are now back loving Buhari again while campaigning on his achievements. At least, other regions have stayed consistent in their opinions about Buhari.

Then it’s safe to say that a particular section of this country is filled with highly insincere people because this same Buhari was demonized and called all sorts of names but today, you just called him the best civilian president Nigeria has had all because you’ve found new “devil” to replace him😂😂
Buhari can rest now since you’ve embarked on a new career plan to drag Tinubu for another 8 years. After 2031, Tinubu also will achieve sainthood. I feel sorry for the next victim after him😂
This man was dragged for 8 solid years. Some even claimed he was a dead clone from Sudan. Suddenly, the dead Lazarus is now the best thing since sliced bread. Una weldone😂😂

This guy thinks he knows a lot and most times Doctor Abati will rubbish the nonsense he has vomited. Nobody expect sensible arguments from Anatomy graduate.

I love it when Obidients (like ogododo) are forced to give glowing tributes to the Buhari they hated and said so many bad things about, just to ensure Tinubu doesn’t get his deserved credits

This Rufai guy is mentally unstable. Someone needs to check up on him. Irrespective of the administration on seat during Dangote refinery project, the refinery will still get completed. You can’t stop a project like that. The force behind it is more than whoever is on seat.
Seems Rufai benefited from the the former CBN governor corruption because if he didn’t he wouldn’t be saying this rubbish.

I give it to you, that Tinubu guy too like to take people's credit..
He can take it all now .mtchw.

franchasng:
Rufai you lied, we thank Bola Tinubu for constructing third mainland bridge, national theater surulere, Muritala Mohammed International Airport Ikeja Lagos, Lagos Ibadan railway, Tincan port Apapa Lagos, Grimaldi seaport Apapa Lagos, Carter Bridge, International Trade Fair complex, Lekki Gardens, Mobil headquarters, and all the skyscrapers in Lagos, including the beautiful estates he built all over Lagos state and handed them over to Lagosians to live and enjoy

Svoboda:

Keep on arguing even when that guys is giving you superior argument.
subsidy removal
Crude for naira.
Stoping NNPC officials and co, to frustrate Dangote among others are benefits Dangote gotten enoumous from Tinubu govt.

If you allow your hatred or likeness to influence your reasoning and judgement, you are not fit to be a leader.

I still don't see magic that Buhari did for Dangote, which warrant all your rants, that he is sole benefactor of Dangote.

As at now, Tinubu did favour for Dangote far more than Buhari.

StreetFight:
Rufai Oseni, you can take the Debit, Tinubu has already taken the Credit

When it's good, Rufai Oseni will say it's Buhari but when it's bad, it's APC.

To Rufai Oseni, Tinubu doesn't deserve any credit. He has forgotten that Tinubu had said repeatedly to Nigeria and Nigerians that he had taken the assets and liabilities of Buhari administration.

So, if there's any achievements Buhari recorded I think Tinubu should be part of it bcoz the refinery actually started production under Tinubu with naira for crude policy.

Buhari and Emefiele played a positive role

Omalicious1:
Buhari and Emefiele played a positive role

Yes, positive role by giving Dangote forex at the official rate at the expense of Nigeria while other businessmen were struggling at the parallel market.

Mumu,has he ever listened to Dangote commending Tinubu foresight in establishing the refinery?

The first person Emefile called to help with his bail was Dangote who banged the phone on him before warning Emefile never to call his number again.

So happens that Dangote will secure Presidential approval directly from Buhari to access FX from the CBN to import items for his refinery during its construction but this same Emefile will stall release of the funds to Dangote.

Emefile's stalling was because :

1. Nigeria's FX reserves were in a very precarious state due to mismanagement of said funds, brazen looting and very low inflows due to oil theft and crude swap deals for debt owed. Then there was still the fuel subsidy racket that the country was paying for it's imports.

2. Emefile will later get Dangote (who is awash with Naira) to agree to pay higher than the artificially suppressed official rate with the balance going to one of many Emefile's #2 Trillion naira local accounts.

Dangote had to pay Emefile to release FX already approved by the President himself.

People fail to understand that Emefile constituted himself as a sovereign above both the authority of the President and Nigeria's legal system.

This is someone who went ahead with the currency redesign and disastrous currency swap without Presidential approval .

This is the first CBN governor to run away from the country during his tenure and wrote to the President on two occasions first , seeking academic leave and then later medical leave which the President declined.

This is the first CBN governor to register with a political party and then seek an interest form to contest the Presidency while still on sit without resigning from office.

This is the same CBN governor who got Guards Brigade units attached to him during his closing days in office courtesy of the cabal claiming his life was in danger.

Let's not even talk of the number of properties this thief acquired in choice areas in Lagos and the over 700 fully detached duplex estate he was building in Abuja.

This is some one who has forfeited all those properties and trillions of naira stashed in commercial banks .

And someone said this Emefile was in anyway beneficial to both the Nigerian economy and people?

If this was China, Enefile would have since been shot and his impoverished family made to pay the cost of the bullet used to execute him .
I
It's because of this same Emefile that Dangote is selling cement in Nigeria higher in dollar terms than in other west African markets because Dangote could not access much needed FX to maintain operations and was patronising black market operators.

It's because of this same Emefile that foreign airlines where charging 3 times the cost in naira for their tickets because they were denied by Emefile anytime they requested to repatriate their money from Nigeria in dollars. Foreign Airlines knew there was no FX to meet their demands and that's why tickets were priced well above the official naira rate , so that whenever CBN gets itself and devalue the naira, they will secure their dollar equivalent.

Emirate and Qatar airlines left Nigeria because of the madness that was Emeficonomics.

Rufai should shut his dirty partisan mouth .

Kemetian:
They will rather praise Buhari because he's no longer there, and in their desperation to unseat Tinubu, Buhari becomes their new Angel Gabriel.

Don't be surprised if they equate him to Mandela soon..

you have it

Oseni is a funny man. Both Buhari and Asiwaju are Apc. Asiwaju alsways say that he inhetited both the Asset and liabilities of his predecessor and he will start from where he stopped.

you lie for a living

You know nothing.

Emefile only secured bail after pleading no contest to all seized properties and loot in Nigerian banks.

The man is the worst of the worst to ever occupy public trust.

Even that your thief Giringori dey learn work where Emefile dey.

Have we not seen Tinubu acknowlege Buhari govt left a Mess nd his supporters even wanted to rubbish buhari before He corrected him Tinubu cant distance himself from Buhari

If not sycophancy madness, Dangote refinery was commissioned under Buhari ... How can you attribute same refinery to Tinubu success

No be this country nd under Tinubu, marketers, ndmpr boss, that yeye union almost sabotage Dangote, if not for Nigerians that stood solidly behind dangote

TILL today did govt meet the agreed supply to dangote, SO how exactly is Tinubu govt helping dangote

Tinubu govt have failed thats why they scavenge for anything to sell as achievement
