A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC Ayekooto Akindele has alleged that the 2027 African Democratic Congress, ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Rotimi Amaechi are secretly purchasing shares in the Dangote Refinery through the recently launched Initial Public Offering.
Ayekooto made the claim in a post he shared on his Facebook page on Wednesday while addressing those criticizing the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
According to the APC chieftain, while Atiku and Amaechi are allegedly purchasing shares in the refinery, their supporters still believe in the return of fuel subsidy.
He said, “Atiku and Amaechi are secretly buying Dangote Refinery shares but their uninformed illiterate followers are shouting “Bring back subsidy.” May we not be foolish in our lives.”
Ayekooto further noted that while some Nigerians are losing hope in the country, citizens living abroad are actively investing in Nigeria, including purchasing shares in the Dangote Refinery.
“Wailers living in Diaspora are making their domestic counterparts here feel hopeless about the country.
“Whereas Diaspora Wailers are busy investing in Nigeria, rushing to buy the Dangote Refinery shares while those Wailers who reside in the same country where Dangote resides are exhibiting traits of hopelessness,” he added.
