The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to make it a point of \u201cduty to man and to God\u201d to prosecute those who wasted $16billion on electricity.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Oshiomhole urged Buhari to probe the controversial $16billion power fund \u201cwasted\u201d on the power sector by the administration of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the APC Presidential campaign rally in Warri, Delta State, on Thursday, the former Edo State governor also insisted that the PDP\u2019s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar was not fit to rule Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Oshiomhole urged Buhari to \u201censure that he follows through till he gets answers to how the $16billion appropriated by the previous PDP administration was spent and ensure that everyone involved in the mismanagement is punished.<\/p>\n

\u201cUduaghan, you will recall as Governor of Delta State, despite the fact that you were a PDP Governor and I was in ACN as Governor, when PDP decided to sell BEDCO which covers Delta, Edo, Ondo and Ekiti states, we agreed that if PDP does the privatisation in the manner they wanted to do it, the economy of the South-South would be destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spoke loud at the National Economic Council. We told Jonathan \u2018don\u2019t do it\u2019. We told PDP not to deceive the people but they went ahead. Uduaghan and I held a press conference at my private residence in Benin. We warned that this DISCO, which is owned by a family, will destroy the economy of our states.<\/p>\n
