Atiku Abubakar Critiques Tinubu's Electricity Promises

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Vice President, accused the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council of obscuring President Bola Tinubu’s unfulfilled electricity promise. This accusation was made in a statement by Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC-PCC.

Atiku criticized the APC for celebrating paperwork while Nigerians continue to face electricity shortages, stating that families struggle to keep their homes lit and businesses alive due to high costs of alternative power sources. He highlighted that President Tinubu had promised steady power and an end to estimated billing, which has not been fulfilled.

The ADC-PCC condemned the administration's assault on democracy and political participation, asserting that these efforts would fail. Atiku pledged that if elected, he would work to abolish the current electricity band system and ensure affordable power for Nigerians, emphasizing that steady power would be a national priority.
