Nigerians have taken to social media platform X to criticize Kelvin Emmanuel, a known associate of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, for allegedly downplaying the progress made by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) in revamping the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries.
The NNPCL’s efforts to rehabilitate these refineries have been widely welcomed, with many Nigerians experiencing a festive season free from fuel scarcity and long queues for the first time in years. As the country’s leading energy company, the NNPCL has been working to boost fuel availability and create jobs.
However, Emmanuel’s persistent criticism of the corporation has sparked outrage, with many questioning his motives. Social media users have accused him of pushing a narrative that favors Dangote’s business interests. One user wrote, “Why does Kelvin refuse to acknowledge any progress by the NNPC?” Another added, “Is he advocating for Nigeria’s best interests, or is he pushing an agenda?”
Many believe Emmanuel’s remarks suggest an attempt to promote a fuel supply monopoly that would benefit Dangote. One tweet pointed out, “Dangote only considered lowering prices after NNPC refineries came online.” This sentiment reflects growing suspicion over Emmanuel’s stance.
Further skepticism emerged with a post that read, “Since he met Dangote, he has been offering free marketing. O fo fun Dangote. Omo ogbon. If na you nko?” implying that Emmanuel’s association with Dangote may be shaping his public statements.
As the debate rages on, questions remain about the motivation behind Emmanuel’s criticisms and what they mean for Nigeria’s energy sector. With NNPCL making strides in refinery rehabilitation, many Nigerians remain hopeful that the era of fuel scarcity is coming to an end.
