The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has slammed President Bola Tinubu over what it described as the administration’s failure to deliver on its campaign promise of providing uninterrupted electricity to Nigerians within four years.
The interim spokesman of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, said
this in a post on X on Saturday.
Abdullahi reminded the president of a statement he made
during his campaign, where he vowed to ensure constant power supply, urging
Nigerians not to vote for him in a second term if he failed.
He wrote, “Today, we just want to take some time to remind
President Tinubu that he promised Nigerians uninterrupted electricity within
four years. Yes, that’s right, Mr President promised us 24/7 power. All by
himself.
“Since Tinubu took office, electricity tariffs have jumped
by 240%, but the grid has collapsed 12 times, plunging millions of homes and
businesses into repeated darkness.
“Over 90 million Nigerians still lack electricity, while
many get just 4 to 6 hours a day under Tinubu’s failed Band A–E system.
“In rural communities, most of Nigeria’s 50 million families
remain completely off the grid, with no access to electricity at all.
“Yet, Mr. President still has not moved the needle. In 26
months, there has been no major power sector reforms, no clear roadmap, and no
sense of urgency.
“We are past the halfway mark of this administration, and
millions of Nigerians are still charging their phones at mobile charging
kiosks, and spending hundreds of thousands to fuel their generators,” Abdullahi
stated.
