Omoyele Sowore, a former presidential contender and news publisher, has chastised President Muhammadu Buhari for the health of the country’s refineries.

According to Sowore, it is unfortunate that President Buhari, who also serves as Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum, has yet to commission the Dangote refinery, a private venture, despite the fact that he has been in office for eight years.

Sowore accused Buhari and his government cronies of murdering national refineries while assisting Dangote in bringing his private refinery to fruition in a tweet on Monday.

He described them as wicked people.

He wrote: “President @MBuhari who was Minister of Petroleum Resources who could not make 4 refineries work in 8 years will be launching Dangote refinery today. Buhari and his goons in the oil sector who killed government-owned refineries are mobilizing to help Dangote open his only refinery. Wicked people!”

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari, President-elect Bola Tinubu, and five African Presidents will attend the inauguration of the Dangote Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, today (Monday).

President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, President Faure Gnassingbé of Togo, President Mahamat Déby of Chad, President Macky Sall of Senegal, and President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger are among the African leaders slated to attend.
