A former President, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, has blamed his successors for
the rot in the power sector.
The former President said that the
country needed to generate 2,000
megawatts every year for the citizens to
enjoy stable electricity.
Obasanjo, after his second coming as a
civilian president, handed over to the
late former President Umaru Yar’Adua in
2007 while President Goodluck Jonathan
assumed office after the death of
Yar’Adua in May, 2010.
The former President, spoke at a
programme tagged ‘First Green Legacy
Moment with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
on Leadership and Human Security in
Africa’, which held in Abeokuta.
He said subsequent administrations after
his reign as military ruler between 1976
and 1979 did nothing on power
generation until he returned in 1999.
According to him, leaders in the country
lack the political will to confront
national challenges.
