Sowore wrote on his verified Twitter handle:
“Lazy, unconscionable and mediocre rulers-Presidents of Ghana, Senegal, Togo, Niger-all lazily sat there when Lagos Gov. @jidesanwoolu was there telling @mbuhari that in 1978 he delivered a Warri refinery brand new but forgot to tell them that in 2023,@Mbuhari had killed and buried Warri Refinery and 3 others. Birds of the same feather!"
“I am sure if you go to their respective countries the story is the same. Nigeria built a refinery for Dangote but couldn’t repair its own refineries. Crushing shame!”
