He however noted that while preparations for the project were underway, an unnamed government official threatened that the project would never see the light of day.

Adeleke maintained, that it is only by the mercies of God that the project is almost completed.

“But during the course of the design and getting all of the permits, we ran into difficult government officials, for environmental reasons, our permit was denied.

“The particular government official that I held a meeting with told me to my face that, ‘This your project will never see the light of day,’ but while he was saying that, I was saying in my mind that this guy is talking as if he is God,” he said.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Davido had also claimed in April that his family owns about four power plants and was responsible for distributing electricity to a major portion of the country.
