Jobless illiterates who takes Buhari's word for a fact.

Is it so hard to check the money disbursed by the previous governments
and determine who received the payments?

The 6th house of rep wasted hundreds of millions investigating this same nonexistent $16 billion dollars
when the combined spending from 1999 to 2015 is about $2 billion.

You JUST CAN'T satisfy Nigerians.... THEY MUST SAY SOMETHING SHA NI!

Xisnin:

Nobody spent $16 billion dollar on power that is pure propaganda.
These shameless reps are about to waste millions investigating a baseless case.
Remember that they did one around 2008 with no head or tail because the government
did not release $16 billion to any company or individual.

na u be their spokesman let them prov their self innocent,now see this son of poor man woo

awetaiye2015:


Have they not probed him on this before? Do u know how much they use to prove each case. At the end, we'll spend more on investigation than the looted fund. Which way nightJA

I understand your position but what I mean is that the APC-Led govt should go ahead and do as they wish but a time will come when tables will turn and then the hunter will become the hunted

Clueless individuals. You are telling Ministry of Agriculture and Co to enlighten herdsmen of where to graze, you all must be mad. I thought the presidency feels that herdsmen have right to all grazing areas? Useless government.

jaxxy:



I agree bt what has witch-hunt brought us so far? Has it helped improve government or productivity? I don’t think so. We need to move beyond it or else all we will have is few weak people pay the price and yet no power and still same position as we were.

you are right. Exactly why I said we should support the house but insist they are transparent, respect citizens' rights and avoid bribes during investigation. When they are done, we can now also insist that previous military leaders be investigated with respect to investments in the power sector. Investigations must involve everyone.

I don't have problem with their so-called probing. My problem is APC always blame past government when they spent 4 years without anything to show

Dead on arrival. It is just a gimmick to see if they too will get their share of the cake.. Instead of probing, what didnt theyt ask ndidu elumelu to give them the needed info on the alleged $16 billion.

oz4real83:
Nice one if truely and thoroughly done. They should avoid being compromised. These past and current presidents killed and keeps killing Nigeria but pretend they did their best or still doing his best (in the case of pmb). Nigeria won't have been in this mess if these people really did what they claimed to have done.

You are as lifeless as the dumbest Buhari who is also without an inch human substance

at least in their time power generation improved not like now when more money is put in and the megawatts dropped so bad .

Xisnin:

They are not privy to any information.
You see there is nothing hidden about government spending because there is always a paper trail.
The reps are either mischievous or ignorant as the first question they should answer is if the government really spent
$16 billion dollars. all they need do is summon the ministeries to provide documents for the $16 billion dollars but they are not interested in that.

There are a lot of real problems facing the country which the overpaid reps ought to focus on but
they will rather justify their pay with a bogus case.

Take it easy .then senate approved the sum and obasanjo had never come out to say the money was not disbursed.Let reason out of sentiment .let the Reps do their work .if they do they will chop our money and if they did not do they will still chop the money .True True there is no light or do have light make you dash us for here oooooo ??

They should do that without delays

You obviously don't know how the government works.
The Senate never approved any $16 billion dollars for power. If you have any evidence they do please provide it.

Even if we are to blindly believe that a $16 billion dollar was awarded at a mythical year, the senate only approves budget for a fiscal year based on projected revenue not on the account balance and the executive spend only a fraction of it every year.

What matters is the money the government spent, not the budgetary allocation.

Nobody is stopping anybody from doing their job provided they are not wasting money in the process.
But each time such wild goose chase of a probe is instituted, millions are spent in the process.
We complain about the national assembly consuming 20% of our budget every year and now they
have another opportunity to increase their earning because of sentiments when everyone should
be up in arms against another waste.

The rep probed this same case in 2008 and nothing came out of it because they started with
the wrong assumption and lost their way even though millions was spent on the investigation.

The probe isn't about light, but the alleged spending of $16 billion dollar.

Bros calm down,why carry the matter on your head like this. Is it not Nigeria again,see how you rule out every possibility of past government misappropriating power fund. Why so energetic defending corruption like this? Haba, let them do what they wanted,do you know more than all the house of reps members,are you educated or enlightened? Goosh,if the news is something bad about Buhari now,you will never give him opportunity of doubt.

I understand you but let them do the investigation so they can know where to start from .you mention 208 rep investigation when obasanjo was still the dominant president then which we all know Obasanjo knew well how to deal with whoever work against him.
