A few weeks ago, there was this story about Sanusi: "How We Fought Vested Interests in the Power & Energy Sector". In that story, he talked about some very powerful players including some in the generator and diesel cartel. he talked about how the members of this cartel have thrown every obstacle in the way of the government in order to frustrate the power sector reforms effort.

This is a link to the story: [url]http://indepthafrica.com/nigeria/headlines/how-we-fought-vested-interest-in-power-sector-reforms-%E2%80%94-sanusi/#[/url]

I have asked a question on several threads: WHO ARE THE KEY PLAYERS IN THIS CARTEL THAT ARE FIGHTING AGAINST THE POWER / ENERGY SECTOR REFORMS? No one has successfully answered the question.

Here is the challenge:

Based on the above, I hereby challenge every well meaning Nigerian (Irrespective of the candidate you support) to prove to Nairalanders (with evidence) where these individuals have their allegiance. Prove to every Nigerian:

1. Who are the key players in the cabal/cartel Sanusi referred to?
2. Is any of the presidential aspirants part of, for, or against this cabal?
3. Has any of the aspirants compromised or agreed to any terms to allow them continue plundering our economy?
4. Are these guys are out to topple or support the current government in order to stop the efforts at power sector reforms amongst other efforts?

Let's Xray the key players supporting each candidate and tell us what their interests are. Run a background check on the key players in the cartel and trace where their support has been going. Find out which of them has refused to drop his/her interest and vowed to stop the government. Let's use our intelligence to conduct this investigation for the good of Nigeria. If you have an insider, try also to find out what you can.

If we can come to a reasonable conclusion, we all should support the candidate who is against this cabal and is in support the reforms we desperately need.
Let's leave out the aspect of whether or not any candidate can be influenced or pressured. Our perception of any candidate is not enough to conclude on whether or not the cabal can have an influence on them if they are as powerful as we are made to believe.  Our aim is to vote against this cabal and vote for the right thinking candidate. Let the challenge begin!
