John Alechenu, AbujaThe Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said the problems associated with Nigeria’s refineries will persist if the Federal Government continues to own and run them....

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said the problems associated with Nigeria’s refineries will persist if the Federal Government continues to own and run them.

Osinbajo said this at a virtual meeting organised for the All Progressives Congress bloggers and social media influencers at the APC National Secretariat, in Abuja, Monday. He said, “If the refinery is left in the hands of the government, it will continue to experience the same problem it is experiencing now. I do not think that it is the business of the government to run the refinery. It should be the business of the private sector, which is why we are trying to focus on assisting the private sector to develop modular refineries.”

“There are also six modular refineries that are almost ready. There is Niger Delta Petroleum refinery in Delta state, there is another one in Imo, there is also another modular refinery in Edo State.

But when Atiku campaigned to sell off the refineries you guys in your party used it to campaigned against him

As APC has no business running government because they lack professionalism.

Atiku said it before but you guys rebuffed him and accused him of trying to sell the country's wealth. APC and pretense sha... E dey una blood!

You didn't tell us this on time. Remember you promised to fix our refineries and make them work to 100% capacities. What has gone wrong between 2019 and now? We don't vote for parties who break our hearts and their promises! We have learned our lessons. 2023 is close by!

That is what your mind is telling you now, dt you can't do it. Better give way to people that can have business to do with refineries

That's all your administration can offer...emptiness

Oh! so you now know? You for got you kick against it when Goodlock was in power.

Please say it 👩‍💻 loud sir!

What's wrong with this, why do people disagree?

A corrupt government dear sir, that's the word, corrupt. The Chinese government you borrow money from runs tons of business including oil companies e.g CNOOC.

Buhari has no business being in government.

When Atiku said this they accused him of blasphemy.

Is the government just realizing this fact now!!!

Them no even get small shame

I remember what Ibekachikwu said before 2015 elections that he will resign if the two refineries is not working on it capacity before 2020. I am still waiting for his resignation letter to Nigeria.

Excuse me,u say what

And you guys almost roasted Atiku when he said he's gonna sell off those refineries... Yeye dey smell.

So it took ProfOsinbajo five years to realize this? This country is gone!

Se na now day dey break?

I'm not sure he said this but if he did then he most be very very stupid. There are somethings a political office holders should not say especially when a claim man of God.

!!

Is this what you said before coming to power sir? Abi una wan sell them?

Then the Fed Gov lead petroleum presidential minister is not a Government! Now we know some have been committing fraud all along. But those running it in the name of Government before now were performing magic wonderfully? Thief thief thief catch am catch am, robber robber!!

Hello... I’m new to Twitter... Kindly follow me everyone and I’ll follow back

After promising the masses 1 refinery every year... God will judge you !

With all their bogus promises, nothing to show.

U guys just found out... Beta late Dan Neva.

So, you knew 'ab initio' that govt has no business running refineries...but you 'deceivedly' promised the people... Posterity will not forget you for telling us this coded-truth, at this very time...when you realise your administration shortcoming...

After spending billions for 5 years to repair.....

Hypocrisy of the highest order 😎😎😎

Na wa nigeria, Atiku propose to sell refinary if he becomes president, APC castigate him, today APC is saying no need for govt to operate refinary. It is obvious our govt is confused. Don't forget about their stand on fuel subsidy as an opposition and now as ruling govt

This country na wa oooo

This professor of nonsense always talking gibberish.

Any business atall

Government of the deceiver by the Deceiver for the deceiver.

And why haven't u given this piece of advise to ur lack lustre economic team and they have been doing trials and error advice to ur govt?

A subtle invitation to treaty for entrepreneurs!

.....institution in the country and when Atiku said he would sell it they started raining curse on him. Bubu said all our refineries will operate at full capacity, where are our refineries now.

The level of advance illiteracy in education people in this country is far higher and worst than the illiteracy of non educated people, you see educated people supporting and voting an illiterate leader in 21st century to give them the best. NNPC is the most corrupt.......

I don't think that it is an overstatement to say that you are selfish, biased, hypocrite & not straightforward. You're now buying into the same idea that you blatantly condemned. God will judge all your actions. Thank God you said you are a Christian & believer in life eternal.

After 5 years of being in government, now you realise huh?

Na now u know

Shame. Where were you when government built and operate refineries in Nigeria?

Joking country

The story is not full... he should give his reasons.

I can’t believe my VP is the one saying this. What happened to the ones your regime promised to build. Building materials don finish abi All Promises has been Cancelled

But your govt is 5yrs plus and the president is the minister of petroleum resources.. And the refineries have been gulping lump sums for turnaround maintenance.... Everything is wrong with this country gaskiya.....

So what is the duty of Govt. This APC led govt has wasted years of developmental strides for this country begining from 2012 when they organized subsidy protest. They said subsiding is a fraud, 8 years after talking about removing subsidy and running refineries.

The Nigerian refineries can be likened to the “golden geese that lays the golden eggs”, our Govt including Prof. can be likened to that foolish proverbial farmer that killed the golden goose to get all its eggs at once. We thought GEJ was clueless, this Govt is extra-clueleas

When atiku said, he will sell them. You were crying that he will sell it to his friends. E ti sick tipe

...and he took you 5 years to know this ?

Ndi oshi

Thunder hug you ProfOsinbajo

True privatization kenan

Atiku de sobe o 🙆🙆🙆

Don't expect good things from F9 govt, nor place your heart on the development of the Zoo, bcs the Contraption is doomed to fail forever.

But Atiku insisted on this before 🤣

There is a saying that 'what an elder sees sitting down that a child even on top a mountain won't see it'. The plot thickens (2023 on my mind).

It is low our loyal house boy waked up from sleeping... shameful

But when Atiku said he would sell them it became an issue.

When Atiku said it, the children of perdition as usual ran their mouths.

We know

ProfOsinbajo Sir, a very candid question here. When did you know this statement to be true? A. Before 2015 B. After 2015 C. Before 2019 D. After 2019 please i need an honest and truthful answer as someone that looks up to you.

Our VP is on a streak of stating the obvious. Are we in 2022 already?

Fucking hell. That was what Atiku said and he was ridiculed by OfficialAPCNg

Scammers!

This is what you hear when it favors north. Bcos, the same government has business digging and selling oil from Biafra Land.

Can u see how visionless PMB & d APC are?As early as 2012,GEJ proposed 2015,d presidential flag bearer of d PDP emphasised d need to offload those cost centres called refineries bt d clueless opposition led by PMB called him unprintable names.Shame on APC!

So, when would NNPC and it's sister organs be privatised/sold to cronies? We've seen the handwriting. It was Atiku's intention right? Now it's yours.

You just say the reality after a fail promised of 2015 APC campaign.

What of monitoring.

PDP and alot of sensible Nigerians knew this more than a decade ago..How come you're just realizing this?🙄

Was that what you promise during your campaign?

Hypocrites. They hated and bashed atiku for trying to do same thing.

What's the difference between what PYO is saying now and what was said by Atiku? Some supporters APC supporters are very shallow in thinking and they are simply blind followers

The cock has finally crowed.

So Atiku and Obi were right after all and you guys have deceiving us

This is what Osinbajo said, 👇 experience has shown that refineries are better managed by the private sector hence the need for the government to restrict itself to providing the regulatory framework for such businesses to thrive.

This government has no direction.

When your boss is President and also minister for petroleum why won't you have business running refinery.... Make God punish you. Zuoooohs

Oshe

You just realized that? ProfOsinbajo ... how convenient! ...oh well... better late than never.

And what was ur view in 2019 when Atiku promised to privatise the system? The reason some of u get away with these deceitful inconsistency is because some people themselves are unashamedly ignorant.

You're a thoughtful leader, by making that statement!

Same thing Atiku said during 2019 election. you all fought him. You can see your life now..hypocrisy

Lols...since when?

These same people attacked Atiku when he said he would sell the refineries. Clowns!

Daddy just found his voice back. Thank God for Baba Adeboye's visit.

Why can't you say this in Jan, 2015.......

But they have business in increasing the pump price of petroleum products without minding the effects on the general masses.

Ok.

Government can change oil price right? This government is not ready.

Is Osinbajo still the current VP?

Osibobo doing everything he can to distance himself from his Principal, but as far as I'm concerned both of them are siamese twins. Shithousery

Why didn't you say this pre 2019 elections when you were distributing Trade Mini and co. Shame

But you refused the past government to sell them out. Anyway, it's not a thigh but a hindlimb.

Tell that to the Minister of Petroleum.

I thought you get sense before, but you have join them. Pastor of hell

It seems like Osinbajo wake up every morning with new revelations everyone already know. Internet Explorer Vice President

Yet you promised to fix the refineries we already have and build about 3 or so additional ones.

As expected from a dump party. That’s our main income man

Government has no business running refineries — Osinbajo. Finally Nigerians know Osinbajo is a fake pastor and his damigod is a terrible liar. After 5yrs Apc is a fraud. All promises cancelled... Apc 🤣🤣🤣

You people called every good intentions of pdp corrupt... You called subsidy removal scam. Insulted Atiku for mentioning the privatization of refineries.. Today today you doing exactly same thing.. 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

Maybe he's still in a happy mood due to his daughter delivery of a baby boy.

The government must be crazy saying that🤯🤯

Exactly what Atiku said during the campaign. You guys are just fraudsters!!

This man has not iota of integrity! In other words he never had it.

One day I will love to look the VP in the eyes & ask him, “Your Excellency going by your profile, I know that you are well learned & exposed person, but hvn bcome VP you celebrately muted ur technocratic thought capacity especially in propering solutions to our problems, WHY?”

So what did Atiku say again?

Say that to NNPC and indeed your boss, PMB. Huge budgets are allocated to TAM for the refineries, salaries paid & promotions for unproductive staff with a strong union. Tell them & take action. Saying it here & indulging them is playing to the gallery!

The bible says 'Let your Yes be Yes and your No, No, anything short of these is from the evil one. May God deliver Nigeria and Nigerians in Jesus name

All our pumped into it nko o? We are asking for refund

Mugu, but wen Atiku said he will privatized it dum..b Nigerians and APC where saying he is a criminal.

Rubbish talk

Pretenders and confusionists, when atiku told Nigerians he would sell the refineries to private individuals, they castigated and called him squanderer, thief, etc. Today, OfficialAPCNg and fake pastor have just found their mojo. YahooProMax

Not only refineries, sports, etc ! A country with lack of transparency and accountability

Who has, but gov,t has business increasing fuel pump price. Oh what a proof.

Shey selling is the type they sold phcn to idiots who are more useless than NEPA

If governments with all their resources can't run institutions effectively, then we are sunk! if we can't maintain them and incurring losses, privatise and dispose off 60% of the shares for starters? Our problems revolves around personal interests overriding National interests!!

So the already so called 'modular refineries' who is in charge or who checkmates dem

After Ibe Kachukwu deceived us that refineries will be ready this year. We now see your lies and deceits of this government.

E just dey like say some people don forget their campaign promises o

100 bags 40k and it looks good. 100 jotters 40k 50 sheets hard cover Customize throw pillows 15k

Buhari has really levelled everyone. See Professors and SANs misyarning. 😂

Yes smart talk just like you have no business running Nigeria Airways ✈️ A failed Nation. A failed leader.

Lol

Sounds familiar but no you said Atiku wanted to sell it to his friends

Na you be government o... Na you

So Atiku was right? This administration will not have a legacy to bequeath. Propaganda outfits are crumbling, the lies are no longer sustainable, data are heading south, next level is not a policy document.

Back and forth...back and forth

But Ndi APC said ur government must run refineries na,,why not resign honorably.

Tell that to your oga, he's the minister of petroleum

Mumu them go still vote em again 😂

sometimes I don't understand what economic formation is adopting, capitalism or socialism? the whole concept of a mixed economy is long dead in the 80's. democractic socialist government talking capitalist? something is fishy

what a bloody capitalist instinct, I thought APC was supposed to be a social democracy? if they assume that Government has no business in running the refineries that mean we should be prepared for capital exploitation.

Same should apply to NNPC? Yes, No?

So why is govt paying refinery workers for doing nothing? Kaduna refinery has not produced anything for the last 5yrs...why still pay workers?. This is profligacy!!!..

(Apc) all promises cancelled

Yeye dey smell... government has no business running refinery but Baba promise to build new ones and repair old ones very heartless leaders...

This was what atiku Was crucified for saying.

This wasan't the case during election. Politricians. Now their eyes are opening to the truth.

ok.....

One of my well schooled egbon criticized atiku for saying dis in 2015 😂😂😂..

Let me be your Apapa; so you can flyover and inspect me...

Oga VP, remember una kampaign promises!!!!!!!

Some times I wonder if Mr VP is actually a lawyer cause I don't see the reason why he is not trying to see a way for it to be possible for a good and sensible government to run both the government and the refineries as well

But Atiku told you guys you refused to listen. 🤡🤡🤡

Senseless lots The said refinery is under which ministry/ department? If Govt doesn’t do that business who will? Are we talking abt privatization of NNPC assets and liabilities? Who proposed that in the build up to 2019? What was your reaction? Do you now embrace ur stupidity?

Finally a sensible one from him 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Refineries that your govt ran for 5 years, paid subsidies that your boss once said was fake.....it is well sir.

But they have business subsiding right. Some pege are not surpose to be pege.

One of my big brother with PhD criticized atiku for saying the same sometimes ago 😂😂😂 'A degree .... Counts but personality ... Counts even more. Apologies to ogbenidip and ayo2_rasaq

Kindly retweet this & I ll follow you ASAP, pls follow me back *We buy used diesel Generator Perkins Cummins Lister Peter's Danyo If you ve any whattsapp the pictures to us for negotiation. We sell used Generators too 12.5kva -2500kva 08038236695

But you and PMB promised to build 1 refinery yearly. By now you people should be building the 5th one! SCAMMERS!!!

It isn't your fault either

They will gradually acknowledge they goofed.Same people who promised to build refinery yearly during their campaigns in 2015.Who cast all manner of aspersions on another candidate for telling them refineries should be privatised in 2019.

This guy acts like he Is in the opposition. Really silly

They must run refineries

Is that what they told us while campaigning back then ?

Its not ur fault, when the both of you single handedly ruined/mismanaged the economy, why won't you open ur mouth and say nonsense

Same thing Atiku hammered during his campaign but he got hammered instead

Are you kidding me?!😲😲

This is the reasons we hv to vote PeterObi in 2023. The man knows what the country needs right now. Deregulation. The economy of Nigeria has been battered by APC economic saboteurs that only a prudent PeterObi can salvage the situation. Think of a better naija? Think PeterObi

Government can't run such business and make profit

Same refineries you guys promised to fix. U protested against subsidy now u following the step the previous admin took. Una no dey shame at all?

Didn’t your government promised us during campaign to build 1 refinery yearly for 4years? By now buhari should be building the 5th one! This is the most Useless, Clueless Unprepared & Irresponsible govt ever seen. Mesh que hum clown

After your government looted and wasted 5yrs now you know that, you people have no business running the refineries you're all are bunch of misfits, thieves and heartless Men in power. All Pandemic Criminals

This man should b president olohun

When you have a deceitful,clueless unpatriotic people in power that’s what you get.... government can’t run refineries but thier proxies,friends and family can own refineries at the expense of masses !!! We are so unfortunate in Nigeria

Oga vp should tell us government business now

IS HE JUST WAKING UP,THE ONLY BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT IS SECURITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTIES,AT BEST PRIVATE SECTORS DOES WONDERS WITH THINGS LIKE THESE AND OTHER THINGS, GET OUT OF THEIR WAY AND CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT,EXCEPT YOU ENDORSE A SYSTEM OF SOCIALISM.

I need help sir

Hypocrites. They same thing Atiku/PDP said you called them names. Here you are saying the same thing cos your Fulani master wants to make Dangote the sole producer of oil and gas.

Its appalling for the presidency to be realising this fact almost 2years after Atiku Abubakar, said it

What a contradiction! If government has no business in running refineries why pump money on the refurbishment of the aging refineries? Why can't they be sold to willing buyers for effective management? The reported losses on these refineries shows that they are looting channel

Heavenly Father I thank you that 2023 is around the corner and they would still come to tell us another story as me l did not forget how l was treated as a citizen during the Coro time.

Everyday is a new story that contradicts the previous day's. Why do TAM? Sell them, especially now that you have built one refinery each year

Privatize the existing ones and allow companies to build and run new ones too. All the govt does is to regulate. But, the govt is trying to monopolise the oil sector and this will hit hard on the masses.

I totally agree with the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. We need competition from private investors who are ready to engage in the refinaries business

Always talking as if he is not part of the useless government. Who do you think you are deceiving?

These people have demonstrated their lack of readiness to govern. They wanted power but had no plan. Can't wait for them to leave.

This is very right from the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo

The whole idea is to support as many private refineries as possible. We are also waiting for the Dangote Refinery with 250,000 barrels capacity which is bigger than all of the government refineries put together.

Oga pastor imam. So dangote should be d one running it?

Mr V.P, I am not sure you people fear God. No you know this but your campaign promises said otherwise.

Sell it to Otedola, he will turn it around in 7months, 7weeks, 7days and 7 hours.

Whenever they want to sell public assets to friends and family this is what they say. If LNG can be a success so can the refineries

But why Govt can’t manage refinery? So other country that have refineries are being manage by private sector? Who are these private sector? Are they not Nigerians?

GEJ removed subsidy,APC called it a fraud,today they've removed subsidy Atiku talked about selling refineries to private hands for efficiency,APC idiots insulted him. Today VP Osinbajo said Govt has no business running refineries No way APC supporters will not suffer for 600yrs

and Bubu said he will build 4 refineries in four years... Govt of deceit by deceit for deceit

This man na Hypocrite...

This man is a monumental disgrace. It's today you realised this; you can't extricate yourself from this calamitous govt. Are you guys tired of using d refineries as conduits for looting or want to dethrone NNPCgroup as d epicenter of stealing in Nigeria? EiENigeria BudgITng

But government has business advising Dangote to sell petroleum products at international price.

Mr vice president, it's obvious u are talking from both sides of ur mouth, check ur campaign promises.

AbadaJulius - brainless govt

He said Government need not run refineries as experience has shown that refineries were better managed by the private sector hence the need for the government to restrict itself to providing the regulatory framework for such businesses to thrive. Read the story not the headline.

Am not sure this was from Our Star man,

Its a pity u guys just realize this after 5yrs,what a shame!

When Atiku said so before 2019 election, you people said he should be crucified. Now you just wake up to speak the truth.

Heaven is far from some people

Prof sounding like a moron

Is there anything pastorial about this Man......? No integrity!

Pastor to gbowo

Ba comment!

You can't be an intern as CEO, because lives matter. When will this politicians stop seeing Nigerians as guinea pigs, and seek for help. Do they listen to themselves talk? What business do you really get paid for as a public servant? This is no your classroom/research lab.

How come these guys suddenly have sense? Who bewitched then the first 5years? Abeg make una shift comot for road before I jam una.

May...he is telling us a different thing from what we are thinking .

APC is evil and don't seem to mean well for Nigerians. Deception, Blaming, Clueless, Confusion, Insecurity and Insensitive.

The whole truth and nothing but the truth. From corruption to financing neighbouring countries with our wealth to loss of funds for infrastructure and suboptimal economic impact, fuel subsidy does not favour our economy. It is the worst economic policy ever implemented in Nigeria

Fake every where

This statement should be true since democracy has become the most expensive system of government in Nigeria without any dividends of it due to impunity and corruption.

Smh!!

That's our prayers.

Why did they build it? Why not from the onset look for private investors to do it and stay away from it, don't put your son or nephew as the look look and report and chop director

Since this U.S Visa Ban..The Liver attached to Osinbajo has grown Larger. The Dirty Slap he just handed to Buhari as Minister of Petroleum with this Comment is reverbarating all round Nig. But then again it took the Close end of Buhari's tenure to realise this..I call Bullshit

Who told you that?

When Atiku Abubakar said it during the campaigns as one of his agendas will be to privatize our refineries, APC called him unprintable names... Is this a chameleon kind of government?

nonsense. Saudi Arabia Aramco oil is one of the biggest oil and gas corporation in the world it is being run by the Saudi government y'all are just too stupid to run anything check Petronas of Malaysia also

But you kept quiet and used it as a point against Atiku during the campaigns àbi?

Very soon the government will sell its refineries for N1 only just like NITEL. Pres Yaradua was a good man, but he made a blunder when he reversed the sale of Nigerian refineries. Govt has no business also running Nigerian Railways. Sell it off, to be able to repay the loan's

You're 100% correct sir We don't like facing reality in this part of the world, hoestly. People here are too much of oversabi and that's the bane of our problem. Sir pls go ahead and if you need me to help achieve it I will be there 100%. Govt should get out NOW. Thank God

You can tell that to the Marines

Except we want to tell ourselves lies..even the gullible nd blind supporters of APC know that the party is utterly CLUELESS.

But, APC and you guys promised to revive our ailing refineries? Ok oooo...

VP no go talk pass ursef oooo... dem go change am for you. Na now u wan Come_Dey_Para

But Atiku told you people

Really, but you guys promised building refineries so we could refine our own crude,to stop subsidies.

Petrobras and Saudi Aramco don't have 2 heads

But they have business increasing pump price. Hypocrite

No sir, Atiku wants to sell it to his friends....govt of deceivers

Day just de break

Useless people. ProfOsinbajo never knew you're this fraudulent. So you now realized this. Was this not what atiku said during campaign and you used it against him. You're fake and deceitful.

Government has no business running refineries but it has business importing refined petroleum products through NNPC.

Govt. can not let Zamfara mine its gold, then still control South South oil and gas. Govt. has no business controlling the oil and gas resources of the Niger Delta. realGovWike YeleSowore DeleMomodu NyesomeWike jimidisu

Imagine

Gov. can not let Northern State like Zamfara mine its gold, then still control South South oil and gas. The Gov, has no business controlling the oil and gas resources of the Niger Delta.GovNyesomeWike jimidisu

I laugh in Swahili. Yes they have no business in running it but it ruining it. They only talk like this when they have done favors for themselves.That's why they grounded the ones we have from working. Hope the same applies to NPA, Oil sector, solid minerals, Agric etc?

Gov. has no business controlling the oil and gas resources of the Niger Delta. Restructure the country and let each state develop its resources.GovNyesomeWike jimidisu

Why didnt smeone tell us this before, if only smeone had told us dis earlier, we wld ve long sold the refineries nd be reaping d fruits by now.

When did you realize this sir?

So why intending to refurbish the refineries after the so-called deregulation of the downstream and the removal of fuel subsidy? So therefore, the refineries should be sold off immediately to the organised private sector.

ProfOsinbajo just as d way you & MBuhari did not have business of being in ASO ROCK

ProfOsinbajo pls stop sebe. Private participation is encouraged but don't say govt has no business running refineries. I am sure you know of models around the world where govt running of refineries are effective. If there's a will, there will always be a way. Govt can run it

Now atiku led this out in his manifesto during 2019 elections and you folks accused him planning to sell away nat assets to himself &cronies.Some of us knew that was d best approach. How can u spend 10 billion to maintain refineries that aren’t producing?How is that sustainable

Meaning atiku was very right when he said he'll privatize NNPC if he comes the President of Nigeria

ProfOsinbajo is tired of lying, now he is giving analysis like he is not part of the government. Osinbajo is dont die in regret,the only thing you can do to atone for your foolishness for the past years is to resign and declare this NigeriaGov a unless one. EndSlavery

Pastor Reno Omokiri 2.0,dropping 'em hot nuggets on a daily. Leading from the sidelines .

We call this the DangoteMove

Stealing Atiku's ideas eh?

But atiku said it but u all called him a thief

Clueless people always shifting blame

What's the difference between this statement & saying the refineries should be sold or NNPC be privatized? 🤔

Our support is needed to save this innocent baby's life, check my timeline and retweet for helpers to locate the child.

Not until we understand that the media outlets pick points to attract people, we will not read the full text to understand better

This man has sense, that, I don't doubt. But because of Buhari the dunce, he's dancing to his tunes too

VP. Abeg off Mic 🎤

So why are you there billions are being spent on turnaround maintenance which you an initio knew it won’t work? Why can’t you lend a voice? If you’re voiceless and insignificant in government what stops you from resigning and telling all that we need to know about being armstong

Una good morning as una don wake up.

Pastor....the same refineries your principal use take campaign give us in 2015. Anyways, politics will even make Angel Gabriel leave your life so long it's Nigerian Politics.

Same thing Atiku said during the debate and all sorts was said against him.

You are late to the knowledge party o... But we move

After 6 YEARS you’re finally realizing 😂😂🤣 Atiku said he was going to privatize refineries and you guys almost killed him Useless people!

The same idea you people criticised Atiku/Obi for last year.

Once in a while complete sense comes out of their mouths.

Una be idiot... So Atiku wanted to sell it to the government? You're worthy of 600 years suffering.

QuotedReplies

VP Osinbajo now talks like a spectator than an actual number 2 of the nation. It is sad that the VP isn't owning up to 'responsibility', you can't be country number 2 and be addressing the citizens like a third person.

Once upon a time, Atiku said the same thing and he was called a fraud who wants to sell the refineries to his cronies.

And your government has been running it for five years.

c_ofiaeli Now you know. Unserious government

Our VP is putting exVP on repeat.

Toyota Highlander registered 2011 for sale :3.8m .....kindly help retweet.

What happened to building refineries every year?

I remember when atiku Said this before 2019 elections and the government of the day said he wants to sell NNPC to his friends. 😀

This man always talks like an opposition leader.

But you had the business to protest GEJonathan removal of fuel subsidy back then abi?

Nkan be o

Na cruise oo 😛

Atiku said the same thing, they nearly crucified him.

And we were all against atiku selling off all the refineries. You even campaigned against it, and now you re telling us govt has no business in running refineries

But you promised to build one every year when you were campaigning for votes in 2015? When did you realise government has no business running refineries, Oga pastor VP?

Shame on all the people that came after Atiku in 2019 for saying same.

You have yam, you have knife ? Are you saying you don't know how to cut?

After 5yrs in office na now you know, abi ?

Since when? Were Atiku and Obi not descended on when they said same thing? Being a buharists is an extremely difficult job in that you will be compelled to defend what you attacked yesterday today. APC Hossana boys and girls over to you. At least hit your target for the week.

But one individual does. Dangote.

Yes oo... In advance countries, government do not run refineries.

What are you doing to it or what are you there for.

Government has never had business in doing business from onset, so VPs statement is understandable but this narrative needs to begin to change. Govt administrative arm should stop waiting for investors to set in first and then they begin to hunt them with stiff policies.

Atiku said this same thing and you lots attacked him. Now you saying it. Well we know.

You are.a hypocrite. When atiku and PeterObi talked about selling our refineries to private investors, you and your party cried foul...why the sudden change of mind?

U promised to resuscitate d refineries, stop all des empty statements

I do not like how this man talks. You are in government, do something for God’s sake. Why are you acting like a critic while in power?

I want to ask you a question sir, who runs Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia, pls sir sometimes you need to think before making some statement .. Because we are not fools .

When Atiku said he will privatize refinery then.... APC crucified him and now, is Atiku not justified

Are u sure he said this....

🤣🤣🤣 and y'all called atiku a thief for wanting to privatize the refineries if he had won the elections. Smh

Ah...this man still dey? I forgot say we get VP...

After 5 years?

We're tired of saying this.....take action, set up a privatisation committee that will sell it off!! The 4 Refineries are now burden rather than assets!!

So you did not know when you were campaigning in 2015 that you will fix them and build new one? U be pastor ooo.

We don't even know the Government's position on many things. We need to hear from President Buhari on this.

Same thing atiku said and you people nearly lynched him for it.

But when atiku and PeterObi said it, you people said they want to sell our nation heritage to their friends. When will APC stand by their words. They are always sounding confused whenever they talk. Naver again should these kind of people govern this country.

You people are after Money in this country

Good Morning Mr VP ProfOsinbajo

Same people that opposed atiku's comment then. confused govt

Same people that said Atiku want to sell it to his friends

From the alter of stranger

Which business is now government business. Education is not, Health is not, Power is not, Aviation is not. What is government business ghan ghan.

Please sir, are u really the one saying this? Please are u still in Adobe Rock?

No wonder some people were asking where is osibanjo some months ago

DISPUTE THIS👇👇👇👇 He noted that experience has shown that refineries were better managed by the private sector hence the need for the government to restrict itself to providing the regulatory framework for such businesses to thrive.

Please remind Prof he's the second in this discrepit government.

Mumu, was that not what atiku was saying prior to 2019 election that you were part of the people that deceived the nation. Mtcheeeeeeeew!

Government has no business in running government.

Lmaooo! Atiku wants to sell NNPC

Same way they had no business establishing ruga but still did.

The deceptions the ruling party used to get to power is now hunting them. Government has no business running refineries but busy destroying the effort individuals are putting in local refining. Again government has business in fixing prices of petrol. Are they just waking up?

Why does he speak like he is in the opposition

Now I understand why were are truly struggling & suffering in Nigeria. It took MBuhari & ProfOsinbajo years to realize what PeterObi & atiku put forward. Either we’ve leaders with willful ignorance, intellectual laziness or lack of wisdom. Nigerians, let us be wiser next time

Finally, you guys can close all the refineries and sent home everyone that contributed to burying it.

Sir, in a poor country like ours, Refinery and Electricity shouldn't be privatized.

A big waste

The hypocrisy of this people are unimaginable. They think that we can forget in a hurry how they mocked atiku when he said that the refineries would be privatized if he wins the election.

This one will be talking like an Opposition figure Fake Pastor

I'm surprised this is coming from you sir

So whose responsibility. Public and private partnerships or solely private business.

This was not part of your election campaigns. Please fulfill your election promises first

So who's incharge of the refineries?

That's not what they said before elections.

😏😏shey na former VP be this or current

Now you're telling us

Government has business to make one of theirs the Minister of Petroleum.

So what business is the government

'I do not think that it is the business of the government to run the refinery. It should be the business of the private sector, which is why we are trying to focus on assisting the private sector to develop modular refineries.”-- Osinbajo This would be a welcome development

Good observation sir Please do you need help to get the message across to those in government? Just asking for a friend

Ifob

2019: I'll Privatize our Refineries to make them work - Atiku 2019. Atiku wants to sell our refineries to his corrupt friends - APC Las las the refineries will be sold to them them... which of them isn't corrupt?

Have they moved VP's office outside Asorock? 🙄

This man is not a professor, this man is not a professor and this man is not a fcuking professor... But govt has business putting prise on fuel abi.... This man is not a professor

Imagine that.

atiku Said he will privatize it but you guys twisted it and said he wanted to sell Nigeria to his allies .. GEJ wanted to remove subsidy you guys rejected it, follow by mass protest.. where are the ideas you guys sold to us in 2015? Like $1=1Naira?

Long overdue

Atiku is right all along.

But I heard Saudi Aramco is very successful.

When did this wisdom dawn on you oga? You u guys are no longer building 4 refineries in 4 years?

Lmao VP na head of pressure group in his own government

Govt should regulate and private person's manage the affairs of the refineries. That's the ideal situation

It strives better with private entities creating more productive competition.

They are tired of their propagandas, they are coming out for real life.... Atiku's agenda!

But government have business awarding turn around maintenance for dead refineries at cost almost good enough to build brand new refinery. Thank you sir for the advise

But I hope u will also tell us that u guy do not have business doing it outside the country too Abi God dey see u sha nice one sir

When Atiku talk am, you said he won send una national heritage, hypocrisy will let never allow this country to grow.

Experience has shown that privitazation in not working in Nigeria.

It a big shame that government doesn't have refinery.

this man have nothing to offer

Promise of new refineries during campaign. I just know this apc regime can't last... Too many deceit. It's not like they don't know all ds things before coming into power.. They just played in the emotions of Nigerians to get to power

🤣😂

Like seriously. But I'm damn sure that government should have business in building one.

'He noted that experience has shown that refineries were better managed by the private sector hence the need for the government to restrict itself to providing the regulatory framework for such businesses to thrive' Me: Where is the lie?

But Government can campaign with 'Revival of Refineries' 😂😂

THIS IS FACT, Let the private sector invest there, it will bring strong competition and competition is ethical for both price and economy growth

MBuhari is still the petroleum minister... ProfOsinbajo

Absolutely correct. D wailers whr are u

Our VP will be talking like an outsider in this government....
