National Grid collapse: Peter Obi reminds President Tinubu of his promise to not seek a second term if he fails to solve power issues in his first term

Because the 2027 widespread election inches closer through the day, former Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, reminded President Tinubu of his promise to not are seeking a 2nd term if he fails to remedy electricity problems in his first time period.

Obi wrote this thru his X handle on Wednesday, September 10, after Nigeria suffered any other electricity grid collapse.

In his post, Obi argued that the APC and the president authorities have presided over greater countrywide grid screw ups and power outages than any government in Nigeria’s records.

His put up reads

Lest we overlook, If I Don’t give you constant energy inside the next four Years, Don’t Vote For Me For 2nd term

The effect is just too evident for Nigerians to forget the promise of Mr. President even as campaigning on 22nd December 2022 that: “If I Don’t provide you with consistent energy inside the next four Years, Don’t Vote For Me For 2nd term”.

For a nation already said to have greater humans dwelling barring strength than anywhere within the international, there couldn’t be any extra association comforting political promise than this.

yet APC and its current government have presided over greater national grid disasters and strength outages than any authorities in our history. There at the moment are repeated blackouts no matter billions in strength investments.

over time, billions of greenbacks had been spent on the strength quarter in Nigeria. In truth, Nigeria has spent greater on energy technology with very little boom in supply, than countries like Vietnam, Egypt, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. but, at the same time as a number of these nations have proudly doubled their power technology, and distribution through including tens of lots of megawatts to convert their economies and boom their GDP, Nigeria has barely crawled from four,500MW to five,000MW.

With a GDP of about $2 hundred billion, Nigeria has the capacity to noticeably raise its economy if it invests nicely in electricity. generating even a bare minimal of 10,000MW ought to increase our GDP by approximately 50%, in an effort to release industrial growth, and create millions of jobs. but in preference to focusing on this, for you to enhance our economic system, we are focused on coastal roads in order to make contributions a long way much less to our monetary boom, while factories shut down, jobs disappear, agencies collapse, and everyday Nigerians stay in darkness.

Mr. President, it is time to prioritise producing and dispensing greater strength to energy businesses, in particular NSME, so that you can create jobs and grow the economic system.

a brand new Nigeria is possible.”
