The Special Adviser to the President Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, said former President Olusegun Obasanjo, left Nigeria in darkness after his tenure. Abati spoke in an interview on Sahara TV on Saturday and said power supply has become better in the country than it was in 2007 and 2010, the Punch online reported.

During the interview, Abati responded to questions on the several issues involving the Presidency, and tongue-lashed the opposition for attacking the President on almost all issues.

On the proposed national conference, which was scheduled to hold this year, Abati praised the President, saying it would be better than the political reform conference that was organised by Obasanjo.


He said, “The last political reform conference, organised by Obasanjo failed. It ended up the discussion of tenure elongation and third term ambition.”

Abati faulted those who have questioned why Jonathan’s government scheduled the national conference to be held the same year the country is marking 100 years of amalgamation.

He said the celebration of Nigeria at 100 is not about the Jonathan administration, but a celebration by the private sector, the state and local government and all Nigerians.
