The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo to prepare to be prosecuted should President Muhammadu Buhari decide to probe the power sector.
Oshiomhole, who was President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) under Obasanjo’s administration, made the remark at the launch of Plateau Governor, Simon Lalong’s re-election campaign at the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos on Friday.
The former Edo State Governor said, “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.”
