Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has come out to absolve himself of blame in the situation that led to the relocation of the $19bn Dangote refinery from Ogun State to Lagos.

He recently revealed that he was not part of the moves that frustrated Dangote out of the state, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his predecessor, Amosun should be blamed for Ogun losing the opportunity to host the mega refinery because he clearly had a personal issue with the promoter of the refinery project, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

Dapo added that the previous saga between both men frustrated all the efforts from him and his committee.

His words, “Any true born Ogun indigene will sincerely be pained by the huge investment loss, especially when Ogun had been marked as the most suitable natural location for the mega project in Olokola Free Trade Zone, in Ogun Waterside Local Government Area of the state.”

“Governor Abiodun, as the chairman of the committee and a big player in the oil and gas industry himself, did everything possible to make sure the project saw the light of the day.”

“The then governor, perhaps, having a personal axe to grind with the promoter of the refinery project, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, frustrated all the efforts of Governor Abiodun and his committee.”

“The immediate Chairman, Board of Directors of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who was then a commissioner, served as the secretary of the committee, which engaged Dangote on the mega project.”

“Instead of showing enthusiasm towards hosting the project in the state, the former governor brazenly opposed and obstructed efforts of the Abiodun-led committee in ensuring that the OKFTZ came into fruition.”
