ADC Critiques APC Over Tinubu's Electricity Pledge

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to distort President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's 2023 campaign promise regarding electricity. The ADC-PCC's statement, signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, was in response to comments made by Dele Alake, spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, who defended the administration's electricity record.

The ADC-PCC emphasized that Tinubu explicitly stated during his campaign that he should not be re-elected if he failed to deliver electricity in his first term. They argued that no amount of selective editing could erase this commitment from public memory.

Furthermore, the ADC-PCC claimed that instead of resolving issues like estimated billing, the current administration has overseen increased electricity costs, causing financial strain on households and prompting businesses, including hotels, to ration electricity and turn off power during the day to cut costs.
