Buhari Queries Obasanjo Over $16bn Power Project by Sunnynwa: 1:41pm On May 22, 2018 |
Buhari queries Obasanjo over $16bn power project President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday querried the spending of $16 on power project during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. 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.

Ds one na political campaign speech. He should launch an official investigation over the matter let us see. Couldn't even mention his name... But why is he asking for power? I thought they said his body odour language had fixed everything sharp sharp? 185 Likes 7 Shares |

Buhari should also account for the billions budgetted by Abacha when he was chairman of PTF. He should also account for the astronomical increase in subsidy claims since 2015,despite almost 75% increase in pump price and reduction in fuel consumption! While at it,Buhari should also account for the billions budgetted for Asorock clinic,that still doesn't have paracetamol while he still travels abroad for an ordinary checkup!! The last person that should be querying anyone about accounting for funds is Buhari because right from his days as petroleum minister to PTF chairman and now president,fraudulent and unaccounted for monies and budgets have been his second nature. 245 Likes 24 Shares |

When he was supporting the government, he was not queried now he is meeting stakeholders for 2019, he is now part of the problem. I thought it was only Jonathan. Obviously, their ex navigators recent Afenifere meeting is paining them. Also why are the heads of our institutions openly joining campaigns for APC? Why won't they then divert funds for campaign purposes? 62 Likes 4 Shares |

I laugh when people take that old thief serious. What about awarding Lagos - Ibadan exp road like 2 or 3 times. What about his failed 3rd term agenda that made him hate Atiku till date. Unfortunately for him, he will be retired after 2019 elections, becos the project of demarketting Buhari will be his final disgrace. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

Finally, Buhari has taken the blame game beyond Jonathan. He's still afraid of OBJ though. [img]https://media1./images/92405250a4bfb2a451c6bf1364a2006e/tenor.gif?itemid=4975360[/img] 43 Likes 1 Share |

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 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 to 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? 41 Likes 1 Share |

Who says that Bubu is not the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria. So he suddenly remembered that OBJ is corrupt after 3yrs in power because the said OBJ is now against him? Infact I will not laugh 42 Likes 1 Share

OBJ spent the $16 billion on NIPP projects. Granted some of the money went into private hands and some of the power plants were built in the wrong place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_National_Integrated_Power_Project 5 Likes 3 Shares |
