Obasanjo. Research on it.
Look at it from this angle, if I wasnt even sure (Because I am), can a senior army chief GCFR in the 80s come around to serve as a chair under his junior officer while in retirement

Baba please don't be distracted by obj he is only looking for relevance.
Kinfly keep to the deal that has kept Jonathan out of probe like other leaders including obj.
You have blocked and you are still blocking the wastages and leakages, this is why they bare their fangs at you.
Baba, let's move forward, keep the good work going. All their plans and permutations shall come to naught.

Sai Baba.
Posterity would judge you for who and what you are.

this our bubu leader sef, very weak in action towards some people, while too strong and stubborn towards others. such a confusing leader can never take nigeria to the promised land. if you 're sure obj mis-managed such huge amounts, why not prosecute him? what's bubu afraid of, even when he is the c.in.c.

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.
and if buhari query corruption, how does that affect you, or is your father, corruption?

Awarding a project doesn't mean it has been paid for.

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.

He dare not mention Baba's name, is he not afraid. He can't even try it. He can only be chasing shadow corruption battle in circles as he has been doing but can never confront it frontally.

After all, they have warned him before that his records and activities at PTF are still well kept in Minna Hilltop house and if he so wishes they will help him to dust it up.

He should have mentioned his name and ordered an investigation.

Re: Buhari Queries Obasanjo Over $16bn Power Project by princejenks(m): 4:38pm On May 22, 2018
I've a hunch obj has some stinker on buhari which the latter wouldn't want out cos it would ruin his supposed mr integrity status that he easily flaunts to deceive gullible ones. obj has been buhari's boss on more than one occasion,especially the latter's days as ptdf chairman has enough scum that can be dug out to reveal a lot if the need arises so those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

what's the offence of el zakhy after the court have acquitted him, why is buhari keeping him in detention?

[1] when Olusegun Obasanjo was the President of the Federal Government of Nigeria. It was formed to address the issues of insufficient electric power generation and excessive gas flaring from oil exploration in the Niger Delta region. Seven power plants were designed in gas- producing states as part of the project. Planned power plants included: [2] Ihovbor Power Station Benin , Edo State with the capacity of 4 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Calabar Power Station, Cross River State with the capacity of 5 x 112.5112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Egbema Power Station, Imo State with the capacity of 3 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Gbarain Power Station, Yenagoa , Bayelsa State with the capacity of 2 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Sapele Power Station, Delta State with the capacity of 4 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Omoku Power Station, Rivers State with the capacity of 2 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW). Ikot Abasi Power Station, Akwa Ibom with the capacity of 2 x 112.5 MW (ISO 126 MW) (replaced later by Ibom Power Station). Together, the projects generated contracts worth $414,000,000 for the supply of turbines and electricity generation equipment to General Electric (GE). [3] The primary turbine is GE 9E gas turbine with a nominal ISO rating of 126MW. After adjusting for site conditions, the capacity was set to 112.5 MW. The plants are low efficiency simple cycle but have provision for future extension to combined cycle . [4] Administration changes in 2007 interrupted funding for more than two years. [5] The NIPP project includes 11 power plants and 4 FGN Power Stations: Alaoji Power Station, Abia State, combined cycle plant with the capacity of 4 x 112.5 MW (ISO 125 MW) and 2x steam 255 MW Omotosho II Power Station, Ondo State, with the capacity of 4 x 112.5 (ISO 125 MW) Olorunsogo II Power Station, Ogun State, combined cycle plant with the capacity of 4 x 125 MW and 2 x steam 125 MW Geregu II Power Station, Kogi State, with the capacity of 434 MW [6] Following the Afam V and Geregu I plants , Geregu II is now the third gas-turbine power plant to be constructed by Siemens in Nigeria as a turnkey project and completed on schedule. The scope of delivery supplied by Siemens for Geregu II included three SGT5-2000E gas turbines, three SGen5-100A generators, as well as all the electrical systems and the SPPA-T3000 control system. [7] The Ikot Abasi NIPP power plant has been replaced by Ibom Power, which is a 190 MW project of the Akwa Ibom State Government . The revised project involves large scale transmission projects across all of Nigeria which are crucial to ensure power distribution from generation plants to final customers

nigga why is you taking this so personal?

why don't you wait for obj who is being referred to speak first or write another letter before you start raving like a mad dog?

$16 billion was wasted in phantom power project.

i believe you should be wise enough to understand the gravity of that instead of allowing your hatred for buhari to totally blind you.
