Atiku Advises Buhari To Reverse The Privatisation Exercise Of The Power Sector

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has advised the in-coming government of Gen. Muhammad Buhari (Rtd), to reverse the current privatizations exercise of the power sector for it to move forward, Leadership reports.

Atiku made this statement at the 36th Kaduna International Trade Fair’s Seminar organised by the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Mines and Agriculture (KADCCIMA).

He said the failure experienced in the power sector of the economy has been due to successive governments’ approach in tackling the problems in the sector. According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan also took a wrong step in solving the power sector problem which has accounted for the current epileptic power supply in the country.

In response to why private investors were unable to collect licenses to build private refineries during the Obasanjo/Atiku administration, he said that in his eight years as Vice President to ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, he knew nothing about what happened in that sector as Obasanjo doubled as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.

“During our administration, there was no transparency and accountability in the oil and gas industry. There was a time we were handed a Ghana-must-go memo on the oil and gas sector and asked by the president for our input and I refused to support it”, he added.

The present government is already beginning so many vindictive/ vengeful wars. Atiku himself underperformed as deputy director of customs and was dismissed, corruption was part of him fall out with Obasanjo during the Obasanjo/Atiku leadership. Let the incoming government sit down and plan out a way forward. We may not get anywhere with these arrangements: Fight press yesterday, NNPC today, Power tomorrow and maybe the common people next. It is only cowards and cheap attention seekers that shine by berating what their predecessors left behind, or not seeing any good in what those before them did.

Thank God Buhari is back and will act wisely to bring those criminals to justice starting from 1999 till date.

OBJ is a big thief. Buhari should investigate OBJ's tenure as minster of petroleum for 8 good years. Atiku should support buhari in jailing OBJ with a speed of light.
