All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has lambasted former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his failure to fix the country’s power sector after supposedly spending $16 billion on it.
He said should President Muhammadu Buhari decide to probe the power sector that Obasanjo would not escape prosecution. He also attacked the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, over comments on the Nigeria

Corporation (NNPC). He said that if given the opportunity that Atiku will sell the country, adding that Nigerians should not vote for him in the coming presidential elections.

Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State who was recently accused of collecting bribes in dollars during APC primary elections stated this in Jos, the Plateau State capital at the opening of Governor Simon Lalong’s reelection campaign at the Rwang Pam Stadium. According to him, “Obasanjo said in 1999 that if he was elected President with his Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, he would fix the power sector in six months and that there would be electricity supply all over Nigeria. Many years later, we realised what he meant.
“He and his Vice-President spent $16bn on power sector, after eight years there was more darkness in Nigeria than when they assumed office. So when President Muhammadu Buhari took over in 2015, he asked a question: where is the power? If Mr President pursues the answer to that question to its logical conclusion, he must put Obasanjo on trial.

“Atiku is from the customs and (Peter) Obi is a trader. Their ticket is part of Obasanjo’s PDP. They can never change their colours. Already, Atiku has said he would sell the NNPC if elected. If given the chance, I’m sure he would sell the country. So, Nigerians should not vote them during the next election,” Oshiomhole said.
