‘$16 billion for darkness’: Presidency slams Obasanjo’s power project failures

‘ billion for darkness’: Presidency slams Obasanjo’s power project failures

THE GUARDIAN

The Special Adviser to the President on Public Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has slammed former president Olusegun Obasanjo, alleging he has a tremendous capacity for mischief.

He said Obasanjo forgets that he ran a Presidency on record as the most corrupt.

This was after Obasanjo, while making a presentation at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum, Yale University, in the United States, described the 2023 general election won by President Bola Tinubu as a travesty.

Reacting, Dare said Obasanjo’s diatribe at Yale University lacks sincerity, describing the former president’s claim of fighting corruption as laughable.

“We all know what happened under his watch and how, up till the present moment, there has been no explanation as to how he wasted a whopping $16b in generating megawatts of darkness across the nation. But that is not even the issue,” he said.

He recalled that democracy suffered mortal wounds under his watch only capped by his murderous rage for an ill-fated 3rd term.

Successive administrations struggled to clean up the mess Obasanjo left behind, which Tinubu is now making progress with, he said.

The presidential aide said the former president lacks the moral right to condemn any government, urging him to apologise to Nigerians for not laying the foundational infrastructure Nigeria needed to advance.

He said the Tinubu administration will stay focused on bringing relief to Nigerians through the reforms instituted for a better Nigeria.
