Social critic, Reno Omokri, has charged former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to limit his divisive nature to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Omokri said Obi should get a life and stop expecting bad
news to react to in Nigeria.
He was reacting to Obi’s claim that President Bola Tinubu
reneged on his campaign promises of ensuring adequate electricity in Nigeria.
Speaking on the latest national grid collapse, Obi had said
Tinubu should stay in Nigeria to fix the country’s challenges instead of
embarking on foreign trips.
However, Omokri recounted how the United States has suffered
several major power grid failures, resulting in widespread outages, including a
blackout that left 55 million people without electricity.
Posting on Facebook, he wrote: “As you read this, the United
States is experiencing blackouts across multiple states as its power grid nears
collapse.
“These things happen in every country on Earth. It is not
limited to Nigeria, and it is a pity that Peter Obi, who last year lied that
Tanzania had solved its power problem and asked Nigeria to learn from that
nation, is up to his old tricks by de-marketing Nigeria over the recent power
grid collapse.
“If Peter Obi had all the answers, why did he not build a
single Independent Power Project in Anambra while he was Governor for eight
years, like President Tinubu did in Lagos?
“Nigeria is making progress in the power sector, and we do
not need to be put down by a man who spent eight years as Anambra Governor
without building a single nursery, primary, secondary, or university school.
“Under Tinubu, Nigeria broke its power generation record
with a peak generation of 5,801.84MW and maximum daily energy output of
128,370.75 megawatt-hours (MWh), the highest ever attained in the history of
the electricity industry in Nigeria.
“Peter Obi is advised to get a life instead of sitting
around waiting for bad news to happen and amplifying it.
“Mr Obi should limit his divisive nature to the African
Democratic Congress, whose spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, recently complained
about his polarising influence on that previously stable party, which got
destabilised the minute Obi joined them and disjoined their cohesiveness.”
