Jonathan commissions a plant Obasanjo commissioned in 2007

The Olorunsogo Power Plant commissioned in Ogun state on Thursday by President Goodluck Jonathan, as part of vote-winning gimmicks that his government has done something for the South West people, is said to have been commissioned by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007, eight years ago.

Obasanjo actually built many of the gas-powered plants across the country that the government of Jonathan is struggling to sustain.

The Olorunsogo plant, not far away from the industrial complex of Sango-Ota Farm, Ewekoro Cement and the Obasanjo Farms, was among the plants that were ready before Obasanjo left office in May 2007. And he cut the ceremonial tape to declare it open..
The plant, with eight turbines, could not produce much power, because there was inadequate gas supply.

So, why will Jonathan pretend to be commissioning a plant Obasanjo already commissioned in 2007?
