Dangote Refinery Under Siege: A Call for Pan-African Unity – UARA

By Iyojo Ameh

His Imperial Highness Prince Estifanos Matewos, President of the United Africa Royal Assembly (UARA) has called on African leaders to raise in support of Mr. Aliko Dangote, Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) and owner of the Dangote Refinery, who according to him is currently under attack from forces of imperialism and neo-colonialism.

These attacks he said are not merely against an individual but against the Pan-African vision and the future of the continent.

His Imperial Highness Prince Estifanos Matewos, made the call in a statement signed by him.

He said that, the Dangote Refinery is a revolutionary step towards self-sufficiency and economic empowerment for Africa; symbolizing a move away from the extraction and exploitation of African resources by external powers, which have left the continent impoverished and dependent.

His Imperial Highness emphasized that the refinery offers a pathway to keeping Africa’s wealth within the continent, creating jobs and economic opportunities for its people. However, external forces backed by major foreign companies aim to destroy this beacon of hope within the next five years.
Their goal according to him is to maintain their stranglehold on Africa’s resources and keep its people in perpetual poverty. “Reports indicate these forces are funding efforts to ensure the refinery’s destruction, fearing its potential to revolutionize African economies”.

“The attacks on the Dangote Refinery and the Dangote Group are clandestinely funded by powerful interests seeking to destabilize progress in Nigeria. These shadowy forces must be exposed and resisted. It is imperative that Africans unite in defense of the refinery, which symbolizes collective aspirations for economic freedom and self-reliance. An attack on Dangote is an attack on all Africans, and solidarity is crucial”.

“The United Africa Royal Assembly is calling on all African heads of state, ministers, and leaders of crude oil-producing countries to protect the Dangote Refinery. Traditional and spiritual leaders are also urged to join this fight as custodians of African heritage and champions of the future”.

“Aliko Dangote’s contributions during crises, such as the Ebola outbreak, where his swift actions and resources saved countless lives, must not be forgotten”.

“In unity, there is strength. Africans are encouraged to redirect their supply chains to support the Dangote Refinery, ensuring it thrives and fulfills its promise to the continent. By doing so, Africa will keep its wealth within the continent, create jobs, and secure a prosperous future for generations to come”.

“Stand with Aliko Dangote. Stand with the Dangote Refinery. Stand for Africa’s sovereignty and economic liberation. Together, we shall overcome”, he added.
