The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has encouraged Nigerians to invest in the ongoing Initial Public Offering of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals.
Obi made the call in a statement posted on his X handle on Wednesday, saying he had been asked by Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to give his opinion on the N2.15tn IPO.
“In the course of my engagements with Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, many of them have sought my opinion on investing in the ongoing Dangote Petroleum Refinery Initial Public Offering,” Obi said.
“While encouraging them to buy, I must say that I remain very proud of the commitment and breakthrough of Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s investment in the real sector of our country’s economy, across different sectors.
“This validates my position that we should move Nigeria from consumption to production.”
The former Anambra State governor also urged Nigerian businesses to invest in productive sectors and allow citizens to participate in the ownership of companies through public offerings.
