Muhammadu Buhari does not have a plan...
Buhari's views on POWER
“We need to investigate what happened to our national resources voted for this sector between 1999 to this time.” - 2007 Presidential Debate
Muhammadu Buhari ruled Nigeria as a military dictator from December 31, 1983 – August 27, 1985, his government had no ideas, plan or political will to solve the power issues affecting the country during his tenure as head of state; it's important to stress there is no evidence to date to suggest that this has changed.
Jonathan's practical approach to POWER?
Goodluck Jonathan's approach to power when he took office in 06 May 2007 was to try and understand why past government had failed to deliver power to Nigerians. Jonathan took over the Power portfolio as soon as he took office in May2007, this move allowed him to have a clear understanding of the real issues and possible solutions. From his findings, the Jonathan lead government developed a 'workable and practical plan' to break the cycle of non-delivery in the sector. Learning from the telecomm sector privertisation success story, it was decided that government must try another approach - Power Sector Privatization
On the priority list of most Nigerians, they want government to power up homes and business first then probe the past. Nigerians are not looking for a president who will spend all his time in office probing the past and yet again fail to deliver on the issue of power.
Lets establish how Goodluck Jonathan is getting his hands dirty as he focuses on 'breaking the cycle' and proceeds with a plan to deliver power to 167 million Nigerians. Click the link...
If you continually do things the same way, you will always get the same results, this is why the Jonathan lead government has decided to try another way to deliver POWER to Nigeria, an approach that is proven to achieve the desired results, a view acknowledged even by his greatest critics.
