Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigerians to hold the current administration accountable over the persistent electricity challenges facing the country, urging citizens to reject President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if the situation does not improve.
Obi made this statement while reacting to the ongoing power outages and unstable electricity supply across Nigeria, which he described as a major setback to economic growth and national development. He expressed concern that despite campaign promises to deliver steady and reliable power, many Nigerians continue to experience frequent blackouts.
According to Obi, access to stable electricity is critical for small businesses, industrial growth, and overall productivity. He emphasized that the failure to address the power sector issues has worsened the living conditions of ordinary citizens, many of whom rely on alternative and often expensive energy sources to survive.
He further noted that the inability of the government to meet its commitments on power supply reflects a broader issue of leadership and accountability. Obi urged Nigerians to remain conscious of these unmet promises and use their voices and votes to demand better governance.
The former Anambra State governor also called for urgent reforms in the power sector, stressing the need for transparency, investment, and competent management to ensure sustainable electricity supply across the nation.
His remarks have since sparked reactions from Nigerians, with many sharing mixed opinions on the performance of the current administration and the way forward for the country’s energy sector.
