An APC chieftain, Ayekooto Akindele, alleges that African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Rotimi Amaechi are secretly purchasing shares in the Dangote Refinery through its recently launched initial public offering.
Ayekooto makes the claim in a post shared on social media, and he frames it as a response to critics of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Nigerian Eye reports that he says Atiku and Amaechi’s supporters continue to call for the return of fuel subsidy, despite the alleged investment. He also argues that Nigerians abroad are investing in Nigeria, including buying Dangote Refinery shares, while some critics at home express hopelessness.
Across the two outlets, the core points are consistent: the allegation involves Atiku, Amaechi, Dangote Refinery shares tied to the IPO, and commentary that contrasts diaspora investment with local demands for fuel subsidy. The reports differ mainly in the emphasis and quotations included, rather than the underlying allegation.
