BREAKING NEWS: The Dangote Refinery has uncovered a fuel diversion racket by some partners, resulting in the suspension of its discount scheme.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has uncovered a fresh racket involving some of its affiliate marketers and strategic partners who have been diverting subsidised refined petroleum products for profit, prompting the suspension of the refinery’s discounted fuel supply scheme.

Investigations by the refinery revealed that certain marketers who were granted discounted products, meant to ensure affordability and steady supply across retail outlets, had been re-routing the loaded trucks to unregistered third-party marketers.

The scheme was originally designed to support Dangote’s registered affiliate marketers in achieving stable profit margins amid price competition from fuel importers, while also guaranteeing nationwide availability of the refinery’s products.

However, the marketers were found to be circumventing the distribution chain by allowing importing, non-registered marketers to pick up products from the refinery using their Authority To Collect loading ticket. This allowed them to cash in on the price differential without incurring legitimate costs associated with logistics, retail station operations, or administrative compliance, making fast profit.

EVERY GOVERNMENT HAS A CABAL, BUHARI’S ’s ADMINISTRATION HAD ONE — GAMBARI (BUHARI’S COS)

Published July 18, 2025 By PorscheClassy News

Ibrahim Gambari, who served as chief of staff to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has confirmed that Buhari relied on a “cabal.”

He clarified, however, that this was not unique to Buhari’s time in office.

Gambari made the remark during a preview of an interview with Laolu Akande, the former spokesperson to ex-Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, set to air on Friday.

Concerns over cabals in Nigerian presidencies have been long-standing, especially regarding the influence of unelected individuals on major governance and policy decisions.

These tight-knit and often discreet groups are known to influence appointments, key policies, and decisions — at times, more than formal institutions or the elected leader.

Gambari admitted that Buhari had his own small inner circle.

“I would address it honestly, and I want to and on record,” he said.

“They say there’s a cabal or was a cabal — there was, but every government has cabal. It is what they call them.

Some call it ‘kitchen cabinet’, some may call it ‘think tank’. Obasanjo had a group of people, the Aboyades of this world and others, and a small group of people.

It is the nature of the office of president that they must have some people in and out of government that they can lay their hair down, talk to freely.

So, some have more powers than others, but every government, I make it bold say, has a cabal of one kind of or whatever name it is called.”

Back in 2018, Buhari’s wife Aisha raised concerns over a few individuals allegedly wielding significant power in her husband’s administration at the expense of Nigerians.

Buhari, however, downplayed her warnings.

More recently, Solomon Dalung, a former minister, claimed that the group of insiders around President Bola Tinubu is far more dangerous, ambitious, and refined than the “clique that cocooned” Buhari.

Dalung, who served as Buhari’s youth and sports minister from 2015 to 2019, said that while Buhari’s cabal was less educated and inexperienced in politics and governance, Tinubu’s allies are “sophisticated, ambitious, and educated, with sound knowledge of power dynamics.”

He described the Tinubu cabal as the most dangerous in Nigeria’s political history.

The End

06/21/2025

If you’re flat broke and she still looks at you like you’re the throne, not the jester
you found a queen in a world full of opportunistic clowns.

Most only love you when you’re up.

Most only clap when your pockets are loud.

But if she stood by you in silence, while the world doubted

she saw the war inside you, not just the wallet outside you.

Don’t play her when you win.

Don’t trade her for a silicone smile and a fake laugh.

Because loyalty like that?
Is rarer than peace, and more expensive than gold.

When your pockets get fat, don’t let your memory go skinny.

She bet on a man with nothing

Don’t forget her when you become everything.
