Nigerians Ask National Assembly To Probe Obasanjo's $16bn Power Spending, Others by ManirBK: 8:38am On Aug 06, 2019 |
Nigerians under the aegis of Young Nigerian Professionals (YNP) have demanded the National Assembly to probe the $16 billion spending on power during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007. They also demanded the federal lawmakers to do same to the regime of late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, former President Goodluck Jonathan and the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. Addressing a press conference yesterday in Abuja, the Chairman of the forum, Charles Olufemi Folayan who was flanked by many others said without probing and bringing those who brought Nigeria down to justice, the country cannot move forward. “With just a year to go before the 2020 target of a 40,000 MW for the country, based on the alleged investment in the proposed power plants, all those who have questions to answer must be brought forward to explain why the power generation target has remained unattainable despite the huge investments. “Considering that this will be a very comprehensive investigation, covering the $16 billion spent by the Obasanjo-led government between 1999 and 2007, the power spending of administrations of Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua (late), Goodluck Jonathan and the incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari; we are confident no one will hide under the excuse of being witchhunted. “It is high time that the books are opened, and the way and manner all funds allocated to this sector were spent are made public; while those who are found wanting face the wrath of the law. “We therefore totally support the resolve of the House of Representatives to investigate and uncover those behind the ineffective and corruption – ridden investments in the power sector. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/nigerians-ask-n-assembly-to-probe-objs-16bn-power-spending-others.html? 7 Likes 2 Shares

From whichever angle you look at it, $16 billion is too huge to be swept under the same carpet that has harbored the egregious acts of our past leaders like Obasanjo. $16 billion can do wonders in the life of any nation, even in the advanced world. The money is too huge to be hidden inside the pages of a pejorative book that was aimed at self-praise and self-canonizations for which Obasanjo is a class act. When you rightfully invest $16 billion into the power sector, you are bound to have three giant Mambila power plants; of the type Buhari is building now. When you have $16 billion thrown into the power sector, you would generate over 10,000 megawatts of electricity and Nigeria would have put its power problems behind it by now. When you throw $16 billion into the country’s power sector, the multiplier effects would have tremendously impacted on the country’s economy by now and not on a book. These are hard, incontrovertible statistics that do not need the subjective narration of Obasanjo in a self-adulatory book to explain. These are raw facts that do not need farther elucidation, fits of stammering or the kind of confusion Obasanjo and his lickspittle are trying to import into answering this simple poser. Addendum: OBASANJO : WHERE IS THE POWER?! INEFFECTUAL BUFFON: WHERE IS THE CASSAVA BREAD THAT YOU SET UP with BILLIONS OF NAIRA TO ESTABLISHED. Incase you guys don't know...... STEALING IS NOW CORRUPTION. 27 Likes 6 Shares |

Criminals. The past leaders that raped and supervised the rape of our dear nation. It could have been worse with these men in power, ruling the affairs of our nation. Danwakae: Kid bro, We hope and keep praying God protect you and your colleagues as you fight and protect our nation on the war front. You will all come back to your families in peace. Do have a great day ahead and THANKS for your compliment! One more thing : if we don't get any stipend as you have accused us of, then pray and fast that wrong ACCUSATION will not be your portion on the war front...this is very important Dan. And don't you think it is not so wise for a soldier at the war front to be exchanging words with people on here like you are doing below? Are you that jobless over there? Even displaying your picture and that of your colleagues online. Get busy young man. We guess your commamdant need to seize your phone till you leave where you are. So you can concentrate make bomb no fall for your head one day! We pray not. It is your type bringing disrepute to our military. A better Nigeria is all we want. Danwakae:Okay, you are right. Once more, do have a nice day ahead. God be with you all. Bye and please don't quote us anymore. Looking at all your posts, we've had enough. We only reply wailers we have known prior and during the elections, not new ones. Be guided! 13 Likes 4 Shares

Every Administration must not spend funds Investigating this crap that has no head nor tail. $16B is not N16B to be looking for like a needle in a stack of rice. If you want to loot say so instead of looking for a means via extensive investigations that has been done several times with no results 6 Likes |

Which Nigerians? They should prove this govt spending and loans. Price of fuel has increased. Fuel subsidy has increased too. Every day we hear they have collected loan, how is it spent for what? Is it justified? We also need a probe into all the recovered money and properties? Timi Silvias own too. We get light. Let them probe the airport project cost and train project cost 1 Like 1 Share |

But why? He's not the only one that looted Nigeria. Buhari is also looting nigeria as we speak. Probe him instead and leave OBJ. It's in the past now and you guys are likely chasing shadows. OBJ was a good man. He's the reason we have mobile phone now. Some might even say he was part of the inventors. 3 Likes |
