The Senate, yesterday, constituted an ad-hoc Committee to carry out a holistic investigation into the management of funds appropriated to the power sector from the Olusegun Obasanjo civilian administration to date.

Announcing the 13-man ad-hoc committee, yesterday, Senate President, Bukola Saraki urged members of the committee to consider their reputation and integrity and come up with a report that would be acceptable to Nigerians. He lamented that a lot of money had been spent on the sector with no results, while Nigeria is still faced with the challenge of power supply.

Jonathan, Yardadua and Obasanjo

The committee which has Senator Abubakar Kyari, APC, Borno North, as chairman, was also saddled with the responsibility of looking into irregularities in the unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN.

Yesterday’s action of the Senate would inadvertently probe how the Obasanjo, Umaru Yar‘adua and Jonathan administrations managed funds allocated to the sector.

Now let the wailers wail and the pooharist poo.
As for me,am just spectating.

Why probing Obj nw? abeg probe Jonathan, he is worst.Senate been playing Ostrich since fourth republic

A very good move by my adorable Senate. May Saraki's reign be peaceful. However, I wish to kindly request that buhari's leadership of PTF which $2.8m was said to have disappeared should equally be investigated That would balance the era of probes we are now. Thank you my dear Senate. God bless you all.

Fun fact: Does anybody remember Yar' Adua died for a full 100 days before his death was announced?

The 100 day yardstick we use to measure good governance was a full period a dead president 'ruled' over us. I can only imagine the looting that took place in those three months plus of political uncertainty.
