The cold war between President Buhari and former president Olusegun Obasanjo, took a different dimension today when President Buhari queried the spending of $16bn on power project during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The president said this while receiving members of the Buhari Support Organization led by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Ahmed Ali, at the state house Abuja today May 22nd.

Although he did not mention any name, President Buhari asked where was the power after a former president claimed to have spent $16bn on the project. He said questions must be asked.

”Where was the power after a former president claimed to have spent $16 billion on the project?” he said

This statement by President Buhari comes after multiple attacks from the former president on his government.

At different occassions and through different media, Obasanjo has asked Nigerians to kick the Buhari-led government out of office come 2019.
