As if he wasn't a president of the same country for 8 years.

Has he explained how PTDF money was used under his watch?

Has he explained how $16B was used for power rehabilitation without any power improvement?

NIGERIA HAS DISAPPOINTED HERSELF BY HER LACK OF DIRECTION AND LIFE.
DIRECTION IS DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES.
LIFE IS FEELING THINKING AND REASONING FOR HERSELF, FOR AFRICA AND FOR THE WORLD AROUND HER.
I WILL MAKE NIGERIA UNGOVERNABLE AFTER ME MAKES NIGERIA LIFELESS AND UNAWARE BEYOND HER NOSE. SO TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT OUR MAN.
FULANI HERDSMEN ARE TERRORISTS AND BUHARI IS BEHIND THEM BY CHRISTANA AMANPOUR CNN. BEWARE OF RIFA-RUGA ISLAMISATION FULANISATION AND ANARCHY.
TINUBU MUST THINK AND MOVE NIGERIA FORWARD PROPERLY. HE MUST ADOPT FAPRES FOTCS AND CTC FOCS TRFG.

No $16billion was actually disbursed. Of the portion that was spent, equipments ordered were delivered and left at the ports for years after he left. They have been put to use to improve power supply under PMB according to reports available online. That's why people like Ezekwesili rose in his defense.

That's not to say he's an angel.

Obasanjo tried to fix Nigeria through political restructuring required by Nigeria. He set up a National Political Reforms Committee to do that.
Towards the end of the conference, Arewa delegates joined by a few delegates from the SW, abruptly ended the conference through their refusal for a tiny percentage increase in derivation from oil asked for by the SE and the SS delegates.
The political structure of 20 new political units in Fulani-controlled Arewa North, but a meagre 17 new political units in the two southern regions - this lopsided 36 states and Abuja political structure created by northern soldiers is killing Nigeria.

Goodluck Jonathan started his own Political restructuring conference, concluded but could not implement it before Buhari came in. Buhari said he put the recommendations of Jonathan government CONFAB in the freezer.
Your fixation for political correctness is simply historic, else how on earth would someone lie with a straight face that Obasanjo, who frustrated all attempts and calls for SNC during his tenure as President, started any form of restructuring and got frustrated by Arewa in conjunction with the same SW that most remotely pioneered the call for a return to true federalism? If we are to agree with you and blame Arewa and SW for failure of restructuring, then what do we say to you Igbos whose Azikiwe and Ironsi destroyed the federal structure in the first instance?

If Jonathan was sincere about his own confab, why did he declare some topics no go areas and why didn't implement the recommendations but chose to pass them over to Buhari?

The inventor of Nigeria problem, this man have the opportunity to lay a good foundation for this country, but greediness, selfishness and corruption did not allow him.

Though he was not people's choice, and he bastardized lots of things and laid a foundation of corruption, impunity and authoritarian, man is the founder of rotten country we have today
Sir, when you say Obasanjo is the inventor of Nigeria’s problem and that he didn’t lay a good foundation. Are you referring to when he was Head of State in the 1970’s or when he was president in the 2000’s?

The shameless letter writer Obasanjo is the disappointment for wasting 16 billion dollars of Nigeria's money without getting the sought after electricity, dashing Nigeria's territory of Bakassi to Cameroon like a coward and choosing a religious bigot like Obi to contest and fail the 2023 presidential election.

Do you know that no other politician from the south of Nigeria cried out louder than Bola Ahmed Tinubu for political restructuring of Nigeria?
For more than 10 years right from 1996, Tinubu campaigned all over the Southwest region for political restructuring of Nigeria. He is one of those people who understand that the lopsided political structure of Nigeria is a fraud against the two southern regions that formed Nigeria with the northern region in 1960.
But in 2014, Tinubu bluffed the political restructuring CONFAB of Goodluck Jonathan government and joined Buhari's most Conservative CPC made up mostly of Arewa people who notably had been resistant to political restructuring of Nigeria. All because Tinubu saw an opportunity to become president after Buhari.

Tinubu bluffed Jonathan's restructuring because it was the biggest political fraud in the history of Nigeria for the following reasons:
1. Jonathan made it clear that he himself believed that our problem in Nigeria has nothing to do with structure but has everything to do with corruption which if killed, every other thing will fall in place according to him.

2. That pressure from civil society groups made him convoke it against his own conviction.

3. Most of the delegates to the said confab were handpicked by Jonathan and the rest few handpicked by governors hence they didn't represent the people of their constituencies but the interest of the establishment.

4. On the day of inauguration,
Jonathan in his opening address advised the delegates to use 75% votes as basis for consensus whereas the universal democratic 66.67% is very difficult to attain on any issue.

And many other reasons.
Did Jonathan need Tinubu to have implemented the report of the confab crooked as it was due to his desire to have it fail?

1. Initially, Jonathan never understood the negative political and economic impact the fraudulent political structure created by northern soldiers has on the southern regions, as well as how the political structure throws up inept apex political leadership upon Nigeria. When he eventually understood, after pressures from civil society groups, and he convoked the 2014 CONFAB, Tinubu should not have bluffed the CONFAB if not for his own personal aspiration to rule Nigeria under the same political structure he condemned for years before 2014.

2. The delegates to the 2014 CONFAB were derived from all Nigerian groups to restructure Nigeria. BUT THE EXISTING POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF NIGERIA IS A CREATION OF NORTHERN MILITARY DICTATORS. And it's apparent that you are comfortable with the structure, and perhaps, your mentor, Tinubu, has been converted to become comfortable with the lopsided political structure.

3. Jonathan said before a large crowd of people in Lagos during his campaign for reelection that he had to wait for implementation of the recommendations of the CONFAB in the next National Assembly, because according to him, the then National Assembly was hostile to the CONFAB.

2000s of course, Nigerians were innocent Soul that time, we just get relief from the horrible persecution of military regime & needed a democracy that people fight and die for. this evil man was brought forward by same military men.

He has opportunity to laid a very good foundation, we were all innocent Soul then and know nothing, only for OBJ to behave like slowpoke, most of what's happening in the country by our politicians, he started and introduce them.

Even by now every region would have be governed by their fovourate party, he brought rigging of election using federal power to make sure the ruling party control all the state in the country, did same to southwest and when Lagos State slip from his hand, he withhold the allocation of the state, so many evil things that now politicians now built upon

Yea true your right you have a point, although I always thought most of our problems to our foundation started or started to spoil real badly during the Babangida regime in the 1980’s and early 90’s
