Lagos lawyer Mr. Femi Falana, has asked the Senate to summon former President Olusegun Obasanjo to appear before it to explain his role in the privatisation programme during his eight-year administration.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that during a presentation before the Senate's Ad hoc Committee on Privatisation, Falana said the sale of public enterprises was a looting of the country and a breach of the constitution.
He also called for the prosecution of all the Directors General of BPE for the manner in which they sold the public enterprises.
He said, "I want to appeal to the Senate to summon former President Obasanjo and other people who have been mentioned during this public hearing to explain their roles in the privatisation process, otherwise this committee will be accused of cover up.
"When he was military Head of State, he nationalised the companies. There is no country in the world that has engaged in total privatisation. How can you construct an industry for N480bn and seel that asset for less than N10bn?"
