Let’s set the record straight:
“Reports claiming that Femi Otedola funded the Dangote Petroleum Refinery are completely and utterly false. He has not invested a single kobo, not one dollar, not one naira. The real story, which those peddling these lies conveniently ignore, is that Mr. Otedola has actually been requesting a special allocation to participate in the refinery’s forthcoming public offer.”
I can categorically state that at no point did Alhaji Dangote request for financing from Mr Elumelu, Mr Adenuga and myself . The Dangote Group is a well-structured organisation that is well vast in raising structured capital for its operations. This is calculated mischief and a deliberate attempt to create rifts and sow discord within Nigeria’s closely knit and respected private sector leadership. These are men who have built businesses, created jobs, and invested in this nation for decades. They deserve better than to be used as props in a social media fabrication.
To those behind this: desist immediately.. And to everyone else, social media is not a tool for manufactured drama. Nigeria deserves truth, not lies dressed up as insider information!
🚨 After Benfica's 2-2 draw against Famalicão last night, José Mourinho's Benfica remain the only team in Europe's big leagues to be 𝗨𝗡𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗡 this season.
They are 2 games away from becoming 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗦 in Portugal's Primeira Liga.
However, they 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗡 the league.
That draw means that - despite being 32 games out of 32 without defeat - they are 9 points behind FC Porto because they've drawn 10 matches.
FC Porto are Primeira Liga champions.
