Minister of World, Babatunde Fashola, has given an indirect jab to the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
According to him, privatisation – which is at the heart of Atiku’s campaign – is not a new thing.
Speaking on a TVC programme, ‘Your View’ on Thursday, Fashola said it started as far back as the 1980s during the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida.
He said privatization should also not be mixed up with licence sale, adding that the privatization done when Atiku was the Vice President in the Obasanjo government failed.
He said NITEL was, for instance, privatised then, “… but how many people use NITEL lines today?”
Fashola noted that the best candidate for Nigeria in the current electoral dispensation was the All Progressives Congress’ Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, based on his landmark achievements when he was the governor of Lagos State.
