Electricity: You Have Failed Nigerians, ADC Chieftain Tells Tinubu, APC

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has advised President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop apportioning blames for their inability to provide constant electricity for the country.

He said they have failed Nigerians.

Eze, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, said Tinubu’s power sector reforms only yielded corruption, darkness and loss of jobs.

The former national publicity secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), reminded the president of his vow before the 2023 general elections to fix the country’s power sector crisis if he wins the election.

“Tinubu told Nigerians that he would fix the country’s failed electricity supply through power sector reforms.

“Today, what we see in every nooks and crannies of Nigeria is total and horrifying darkness. The entire power sector has collapsed, with the national grid crashing at will with no solution in sight, except borrowing,” he stated.

Eze urged Tinubu to apologize to Nigerians for not making any headway on his promise to address Nigeria’s electricity problem, despite budgetary allocations in the last three years, running into billions of naira.

“Resorting to blame past administrations for his government’s total failure in fixing Nigeria’s electricity problem is an excuse in futility, an aberration and story for the gods.

“Is it only in the power sector that Mr. President has failed Nigerians? Certainly, the answer is no. Honestly, no right thinking Nigerian will believe the hoax because the hallmark of this present administration has been failure, ineptitude, corruption and foreign borrowing.

“It is regrettable and shameful that a man who promised to give light to Nigerians if he becomes President, is the same man trying to blame people for his administrative woes and inability to fullfil his promise,” the ADC chieftain said.
