Leaders from the five local government areas under the Daura emirate in Katsina state say the communities enjoy 24 hour supply of electricity only when President Muhammadu Buhari is around.
Buhari had gone to Daura for the Sallah celebration.
While hosting the leaders, they commended the president and also asked him to address issues plaguing the area.
“Anytime the President is around we enjoy 24 hours power supply. But if he is not around, the power supply is not always stable,” Mohammed Saleh, one of the leaders, said.
Responding, Buhari said he is set to improve the lives of Nigerians, as he is convinced that he got elected by Nigerians who understood his mission.
“Truly, the people know and understand my mission. This is what the votes showed. The administration will dwell on our campaign issues — security, economy and corruption. We will fight for the poor,” he said.
Umar Farouq, emir of Daura, called on Nigerians to support the president overcome current challenges.
The emir made this call during the Sallah durbar held in his palace.
“I pray to the Almighty Allah to grant good health to Mr President, give him the courage to lead the country right,” he said.
“I commend him for his endurance and patience on the challenges he is facing. A leader must possess two qualities of endurance and patience, may Allah guide and protect him from all evils.
“I am calling on Nigerians to continue to pray to Allah to enable the president succeed in improving their living conditions and move the country forward.”
Actually, the power problem issue is not limited to Daura only.Even it is worst in Sagamu here in Ogun state.
ReplyDeleteThe way and the manner of the supplying company called IBEDEC is nothing to write home about.The gross indiscipline among other things.
1.Most houses are being charged on estimated bills that tenants cannot negotiate.
2.Some staff of this IBEDEC do engaged in collecting bribe to leave some houses or exonerate them from cutting off their power supply the resultant will create accumulated bill of which when the occupants that owed the accumulated bill packed out of those premises,they start to engage on physical confrontation with the newly occupants.
3.They give power to the town may whenever they suspect that high profile people will be in town.
4.They take power without any prior announcement or even with reasons.
5.The darkness being experience in the town has many at times helps some evil doers to perpetrate evils like breaking of shops,stealing of phones through windows when windows are opened to allow fresh air and so on.
In view of these and more,the operation of IBEDEC needs to be check mate for improvement and if other way round,they should opt out for another company to take charge and render good services to the populace.Thanks and remain blessed the concern group. CLEMO
