Business mogul and President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has accused former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, of twice demolishing his cement plant during his tenure.
Dangote made the revelation on Monday, March 17, 2025, during a meeting with the current state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.
According to a statement released by the Ogun State Government, the meeting was aimed at exploring investment opportunities in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy within the state.
However, in a video circulating on social media, Dangote alleged that while his cement factory was still under construction, the Amosun administration demolished it on two separate occasions.
He 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.”
