The president was speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while receiving the Buhari Support Organization led by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Ahmed Ali.

Buhari did not mention Obasanjo's name, but asked where was the power after a former president claimed to have spent $16bn on the project.

The House of Representatives had in 2008 described $16 billion spent on power by Obasanjo's government as colossal waste, blaming it on "poor budget planning and a lack of proper oversight by relevant bodies.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project had also in 2016 urged the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Water Samuel Onnoghen, to immediately appoint an independent counsel to investigate allegations of corruption in the spending of $16 billion on electricity by Obasanjo's government.

Perhaps Buhari will be touching the tiger's tail by this though It's good to call our leader to accountability. However he that comes to equity must come with clean hands.Can Buhari please give Nigerians a satisfactory answers as concerns;
-How the then PTF funds were misappropriated under his chairmanship?
-How can he reasonable correlate his "Abacha didn't stole a dime" statement & the staggering amount of returned looted funds traced his despot dictator brother?
-How #3billion was budgeted for Aso Rock Clinic but embezzled & no one have been called to accountability?
-How $24billion worth of NNPC contracts were signed btw him & Mikanti Baru while he have constitutionally handed power to Osinbajo while on admission in a London hospital hence committing a constitutional sacrilege?
- What is the justification of a $1billion counter insurgency fund for a BH group that his government had categorically told Nigerian have been defeated?

Very typical! Speak against buhari and billions of dollars will either be discovered under your bed or hired militia will claim you're their sponsor.
Since OBJ declared his resolved through a coalition to remove Buhari's APC govt in 2019, I knew it will be a matter of time before they remember OBJ's multi billion dollar contracts.

Buhari is as corrupt and clueless like our past leaders. No difference.

Truth is that Buhari can do absolutely nothing to OBJ.

Fear dey pass fear na.

Lemme not talk.

Buhari should know that people are also keeping his records


Hypocrite APC, the same APC sponsored OBJ's birthday in 2016 because he supported Buhari.

In 2018, none of them sent him birthday wishes, because he called out Buhari to step down

Definitely not. Corruption can't fight corrupt. Buhari is just a vengeful vindictive fellow good at witch hunt.
People like buhari make terrible leaders. No difference between buhari and Hitler, they share a lot in common.

When Buhari was visiting Obasanjo for 2015 he was a saint.
Re: Buhari Queries Obasanjo Over $16bn Power Project by saaron(m): 2:39pm On May 22, 2018
To even think that the head of Nigeria's Customs (a top security agency who's officers are supposed to be professional and apolitical at all times) is the leader of a political campaign group is not only shocking but sickening. They should kuku convert Nigeria's Custom's Headquarters in Abuja into Buhari's Campaign Office to complete the equation. Bunch of incompetent fools.
Anyway I doubt an outsider appointed as Custom's boss who was never a custom officer will act professional.

Buhari's APC govt is truely pathetic.

After people we believe the corruption propaganda using to deceive Nigeria. Nigeria may be surprise by the time APC Leave office that this regime will be more corrupt ever. Once you are with Buhari then you can loot as much as you like and nobody will do anything you can disobey NASS and nothing will happen you can even send thieves to steal the mace and police will escorts you to your house that is what is going on in this administration.
