Dangote and Gov Abiodun
Aliko Dangote, the President of the Dangote Group, has accused former Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, of demolishing his cement plant twice during his administration.
Dangote made this claim during a meeting with the current state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, March 17, 2025.
According to a statement from the Ogun State Government, the meeting between Dangote and Governor Abiodun focused on expanding investment opportunities in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy within the state. However, a video that surfaced on social media showed Dangote discussing his experience with the Amosun administration, alleging that his cement factory was demolished twice during its construction.
Dangote said, “I deem it fit to have it on record that the factory we are visiting now in Itori, it’s because of his excellency that we came back. That factory was demolished twice. We started building, then Amosun demolished it, the second time, we started again, he demolished not only the factory, including the fencing, so we left. But right now, we’re coming back because of his excellency, my brother, Prince Dapo Abiodun, we’re now back. When we go there you’ll be very surprised.”
