We’ll recover $16bn wasted on power'' President Buhari again hints at probing Obasanj - Edoman - 02-13-2019 We’ll recover $16bn wasted on power'' President Buhari again hints at probing Obasanjo, Jonathan President Buhari has once again hinted at probing the Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan administrations over the $16 billion spent on power projects that in no way improved power supply in Nigeria. Speaking at the APC rally in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state on Tuesday, February 12th, President Buhari pledged that his administration will go after those that mismanaged the money meant for the development of the sector. Recall that in 2018, President Buhari while speaking in the state house, said those that mismanaged funds meant for the power sector from 1999-2017, had questions to answer. Speaking about the power sector at the presidential rally, President Buhari said Quote:“You know we are building roads. The railway was virtually killed. We are rebuilding it and there was no power, we are bringing power back. The previous government mentioned on their own that they spent 16 billion American dollars for power. But you are better witnesses than myself. Where is the power? Where is the money?

In the statement, the former president said he had given a detailed account of how the money was spent for the power project in his widely read book, My Watch, and that if President Buhari cannot read it, he should get one of his aides to read it and interprete in a language best suitable. Read the statement below Quote:”It has come to the attention of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo that a statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari, apparently without correct information and based on ignorance, suggested that $16 billion was wasted on power projects by “a former President. by Lind |
