“Alhaji is playing this emotional blackmail thing and Nigerians are just swallowing it.
“These marketers have written to the president that they have lots of old stock that they bought at higher prices they need to import and sell. So, they ask why they are been forced to exclusively buy from Dangote.
“If you’re selling a cheaper product that makes business sense, how will marketers refuse to buy from you?
“Landing cost of imported fuel is N1117/litre. Let Dangote tell us his own price of petrol and let’s compare. What is he afraid of?
“And even if they refuse, for whatever reason, why not open your own stations, or go into partnership with major petrol stations and sell to the people directly?
“Importation is the only competition Dangote has to improve efficiency.
“But no, the one and only strategy is to cry to Nigerians about some cabals sabotaging the refinery so that bans can be enacted like we have with his other products.
“Nigerians will kuku believe anything if you couch it in patriotic terms even if it’s not in their best interests.”
Financial analyst, Tosin Adeoti has accused Aliko Dangote, the Group Chairman of Dangote Refinery, of playing emotional blackmail.
