Verydarkman raises crucial questions as Dangote unveils his petrol sample, begins local distribution (VIDEO)

• The Dangote Refinery has just launched its petrol production with a bang, only weeks after billionaire Aliko Dangote unleashed a fiery tirade against those he claims are conspiring to undermine his groundbreaking project.
• His long-held dream is now a reality, as the refinery reveals its first sample of petrol and initiates local distribution.
• But the fanfare is met with sharp scrutiny from figures like Verydarkman, who have thrown the spotlight on controversial questions and potential issues swirling around this high-stakes operation.

Nigerian social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as Verydarkman, has thrown down the gauntlet following Billionaire entrepreneur Aliko Dangote’s dramatic reveal of the first batch of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from his newly operational refinery.

Presented on Tuesday during a high-profile broadcast from Dangote’s colossal Ibeju-Lekki facility, the refinery’s launch is anything but understated, with its massive 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity now transitioning from test runs to full-blown local distribution.

But while the refinery’s official launch is generating buzz, Verydarkman is not holding back on his critique.

He’s questioning the dramatic turn of events in Dangote’s battle with the government, probing why the billionaire’s refinery has suddenly received the green light to produce petrol after numerous contentious back-and-forths with authorities.

His sharp critique delves into suspicions of covert government concessions and shady politics.

Verydarkman raised further alarming questions on the frightening prospect of Dangote monopolizing the oil sector, drawing parallels with his near-total control over the cement industry and other sectors.

In the recent press conference, Dangote expressed gratitude to the government for creating an enabling environment for the refinery’s operations.

Dangote emphasised that the refinery’s operations would not only meet Nigeria’s fuel demands but also supply the needs of sub-Saharan Africa.

He highlighted the refinery’s ability to track fuel consumption and distribution, ensuring transparency and accountability.
