Obasanjo: Leave Electricity Problem to God
07.23.2008

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said Nigerians should take their electricity problem to God, adding that they should take to God anything they do not have which they wished to have or cannot get.
Obasanjo spoke yesterday when he reluctantly fielded questions from journalists as he arrived the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
Also yesterday, House of Representatives Speaker Dimeji Bankole warned that lawmakers would not be stampeded into taking final decisions on the recommendations of its committee that probed the expenses in the power sector between 1999 and 2007 when Obasanjo held sway as president.
The Speaker said the House would follow due process to ensure that the recommendations brought before it were thoroughly considered.
Cornered at the airport, Obasanjo responded to questions thus: Sir, what advice do you have on the power problem in the country?
Obasanjo: Power, which power? 
Journalists: Electricity 
Obasanjo: Do you have electricity in your area? 
Journalists: No 
Obasanjo: Anything you don’t have or you cannot get, then leave it to God
Journalists: How do you feel when Nigerians don’t appreciate your contributions to the development of the nation?
Obasanjo: Hey!  Hey!, calling a friend of his who was on his entourage; the man walked up to him and he said to him: “They are asking about good governance, Go into your car. Bye bye o,” he said, waving.
Obasanjo, who arrived in a chartered HS125 aircraft from Abuja, also described his political “sons” including the former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose, as his good children.
The former president retorted when asked his reaction to the move to reconcile him to all his estranged political supporters in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), “All my children are good children.”
The interview went thus; “How do you react to the move by some leaders of your party to reconcile you with some of your estranged political children?” 
Obasanjo humorously responded:  “All my children are good children. Do you have bad children, if you have bad children na your own toro” 
The former president was besieged by Aviation Correspondents but he did not say anything again.
He walked leisurely to his GMC four-wheel-drive, boarded and departed with a stream of convoy.

Bros i read the article as well, if you read between the lines you would observe the reporter was quoting him out of context while looking for a sensational headline. That kind of headline would sell any day in Nigeria with the fustration we are having with electricity, but i think we are just chasing shadows, Yar'dua as been around for over one year and he as refused to complete the several electricity projects started byhis predessesor under the excuse of due process, na due process we go chop??
