Former Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo fights back against power privatization accusations from Dr. Shamsudeen Usman. Usman claimed political deals influenced the 2013 power sector sales under President Goodluck Jonathan. Sambo calls these statements false and says Usman tries to damage Jonathan's reputation. The former vice president led the privatization council and says he followed all proper rules. He demands Usman provide proof of any wrongdoing during the power company sales.
Sambo points out that anti-corruption agencies watched the entire privatization process closely. The power minister resigned because of conflicts of interest during the sales period. No decisions hurt the fairness of choosing winning companies according to Sambo's team. Usman helped run the privatization process and chaired several important committees at that time. The former vice president questions why Usman waits over ten years to make these serious claims.
Sambo warns President Bola Tinubu and Finance Minister Wale Edun about Usman's motives behind the accusations. He suggests Usman wants to gain favor with the current government through these attacks. The former vice president describes Usman's behavior as betraying people who once trusted him. Sambo's secretary released the strong response to defend the Jonathan administration's privatization work.
