The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has urged President<\/div>\n
Muhammadu Buhari not to stop at throwing a jibe at former President<\/div>\n
Olusegun Obasanjo for spending $16bn on power projects as he held sway as<\/div>\n
the President but must go a step further by instituting a public probe of<\/div>\n
the power spending and other expenditure during Obasanjo\u2019s tenure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While reacting to comment credited to President Buhari that despite the<\/div>\n
huge expenditure, there was no corresponding power supply to Nigerians,<\/div>\n
the CNPP Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu in a statement noted that<\/div>\n
one of the ways to give the anti-graft position of the President Buhari<\/div>\n
government a meaning is when he openly probes the Obasanjo administration.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe expect President Buhari to institute a full scale public inquiry into<\/div>\n
the spending on power by former President Obasanjo\u2019s administration. This<\/div>\n
will give teeth to his anti-graft war.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHis administration\u2019s concentration on one particular administration,<\/div>\n
while leaving the ones before the former President Goodluck Jonathan<\/div>\n
government has been the reason for our doubt of the sincerity in his war<\/div>\n
against corruption.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAlthough President Buhari did not mention any name, he was widely quoted<\/div>\n
as saying that a former Nigerian leader was bragging at a time that his<\/div>\n
administration spent $16bn on power sector, yet there was nothing to show<\/div>\n
for it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cTherefore, if the President knows what we don\u2019t know, it is time to prove<\/div>\n
to Nigerians that he is really fighting corruption.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe now call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately begin the probe<\/div>\n
and assure all Nigerians that he is not selective on his anti-graft war.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMr. President must equally probe members of his own cabinet fingered in<\/div>\n
corruption cases to make his war on corruption total\u201d, the CNPP said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
