He accused Obasanjo of thwarting his attempt to help save the country’s electricity problem when he invited Enron Power to help solve Nigeria’s electricity crisis.

Tinubu said:

“I brought in Enron to solve the electricity problem and help the Lagos economy, but Obasanjo and the PDP thwarted it. They punished me and the people of Lagos and even started deducting our money.”

Tinubu also touched on his old feud with Obasanjo when his administration seized Lagos State’s allotment, a move that led him to improvise and set up more local governments to save Lagos State’s sustainability.

He said:

“I created Local Governments in Lagos to speed up development and create jobs for our people, but Obasanjo seized our allowance and punished us for it.
