He then called on the President Bola Tinubu-led government and the business mogul to settle their differences in dialogue, adding that the development directly affects the Nigerian economy.
"It’s more politics than patriotism. Both the Government and Dangote have questions to answer. Dangote is not clear about his Refinery’s readiness, especially for PMS supply, and the government is also not sincere about implementing PIA and supplying crude to the refinery.
"They have to sit down and resolve it as this is something that involves the economy directly," Ingawa who is also an aide to the minister of housing and urban development, Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa, told Legit.ng.
Dangote asks House of Reps to test his diesel
Earlier, Legit.ng reported Dangote urged the House of Representatives to investigate the quality of diesel and petrol at filling stations across Nigeria.
The entrepreneur requested the House to set up a committee to test products at various filling stations, citing damage to vehicles and engines caused by substandard products.
He also called for an investigation into the quality of laboratories used to test imported products, comparing them to those at the Dangote Refinery.
Dangote offered to have his refinery's products independently tested, confident it would attest to their quality and expose issues with other products in the market.
The Dangote Refinery has faced accusations of seeking a monopoly, but Dangote denied this, stating that the company received no special incentives and did not prevent other players from operating.
