The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has alleged that those who crippled Nigeria’s four refineries were now working against the private refinery built by eminent businessman, Aliko Dangote, Dangote Petroleum Refinery, in Lekki area of Lagos State.
Adeboye thus urged Nigerians to pray for divine intervention to stop unscrupulous oil marketers from killing Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
He made reference to the refinery during the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost Service, themed: “Total Restoration.”
He said: “Are we under a curse?
“We have four refineries, we poured all kinds of money into them, none of them is working.
“But God raised someone to build a refinery that works.
“He is not my relative, he is not from my village.
“He is not even a Christian, but he is a Nigerian who says: ‘Why should my people suffer when I have the means to build a refinery that can work?’

“Now he is refining petrol, and some people want to stop him from selling it, so they can keep importing.”
Adeboye also pointed out the damage caused by fuel subsidy, describing it as a significant drain on Nigeria’s resources, contributing to the country’s mounting debts and corruption.
He stressed that when President Bola Tinubu announced the end of the subsidy in 2023, Nigerians largely welcomed the decision, but oil marketers, who benefitted from the subsidy regime, were furious.
These marketers, the renowned pastor claimed, have formed alliances with some International Oil Companies and other powerful interests to obstruct the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
This includes restricting access to crude oil, and forcing Dangote to import crude from countries like the United States, among others.
Adeboye called for prayer for the total restoration of the country, noting that Nigerians are suffering the consequences, as the prices of essential goods have soared, pushing many items beyond the reach of ordinary citizens.
“The masses are the ones suffering because these marketers, who are bent on keeping imports alive, already have more money than they can ever spend,” he said.
