Insisting that nothing has worked since 2007, Dan Musa said that it has taken the President two years to plan fixing the power sector, solve the Niger Delta problem as well as embark on electoral reforms which he had listed as his priorities.
He said: “What I said about Yar’Adua is what I believe to be the correct assessment of him. If it has taken him two years to plan for implementation of projects for a four-year assignment then I think there is a problem.
“If it takes him two years to plan, I do not know how light the problems are that they can be solved in the remaining two years, considering the democratic environment. The moment we go to the third year, 2010, people will start campaigns for the next elections which in this case will be in 2011.
“You see, there is confusion. In the power sector, we heard about expenditure of $13 billion, then $16 billion and again about $10 billion.
“The last thing we heard was about an expenditure of $3.8 billion for all these power projects, from 1999 to date.
“Whatever is the case, the bottom line is that there is no light. So as at today, we are still where we started in 2007. On electoral reforms, it is certainly not fair to allow somebody who lost election at a lower tribunal to continue to stay in office.”
