$16bn power project: Probe Obasanjo, other past leaders – CACOL tells Buhari


The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to probe former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, on the purported $16bn expended on power projects, as well as perceived corruption by former leaders of the country.

Recall that Buhari had while receiving a delegation of his support group yesterday, said a former president has questions to answer over a failed $16 billion power project.

Reacting, CACOL in a statement by its director, Debo Adeniran urged Buhari to bring the culprits to book disregarding their political influence.

The statement read, “Our stand is that the Federal Government should waste no time further but should probe whoever is behind poorly implemented national projects.

“Now that the President has confirmed that $16bn was wasted under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Buhari administration needs to summon enough courage and political will to bring the culprits to book.

“Power, influence and political leanings should not be considered in bringing whoever is guilty to book,” the statement read.
