Senator Abdullahi Adamu has
challenged former president Olusegun Obasanjo and ex vice president, Atiku
Abubakar, to explain to Nigerians how they spent N16 billion port harbours
reconstruction in Lagos and N20 billion expansion of the Lagos airport.
Adamu, representing Nasarawa
West, also challenged the duo to explain the whereabouts of N1.4 billion
conversion of steam and head for the power plants; N47.4 billion conversion of
the Alaoji Power Plant to double circuit and N3.5 billion for procurement and
repair of two boilers at the Egbin Power Station in Lagos.
He recalled that Atiku headed the
economic team during Obasanjo’s administration and that none of the privatised
enterprises were functional not until President Muhammadu Buhari came to power.
A statement by his media aide,
Umar Muhammed, said the Senator gave the posers in Umashia development area of
Toto Local Government area in continuation of his campaign rally on Sunday.
Adamu said: “In 2016, President
Muhammadu Buhari fulfilled his campaign promise and N2 billion on Ajaokuta
steel by settling the legal bottleneck surrounding the companies out of court.”
On Benue state Cement Company and
plant in Warri, the lawmaker lamented that the plant had suffered serious
deterioration leading to complete breakdown of the entire factories.
He said: “The plant was virtually
a wreck while its debts profile rose from N1.2 billion to over six billion
naira.” He added that the sixteen years of PDP government was a wasteful year.
Senator Adamu pointed out that
during the administration of former presidents Obajanjo and Jonathan, crude oil
was sold at the rate of 140 US dollars per barrel, adding that dollar was also
sold between two to four hundred naira per dollar.
He further maintained that prior
to President Buhari’s administration dollar remained three hundred to four
hundred naira while crude oil dropped drastically to 32 US dollars per barrel.
