Obi Critiques Tinubu on Electricity Crisis in Nigeria

Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu by referencing Tinubu's own words from the 2023 presidential campaign, where he stated, "don’t give constant electricity for four years, don’t vote for second term." This statement resurfaces amid worsening power supply issues in Nigeria, where electricity generation has remained below 4,000 megawatts since Tinubu assumed office in 2023. The average Nigerian now faces higher electricity tariffs, with Nigeria's per capita electricity consumption estimated at 144 kWh, significantly lower than Africa's average of 617 kWh.

Obi's remarks underscore the growing discontent regarding the current administration's failure to meet electricity supply expectations. He highlighted a recent incident during a brief airport stopover where there was no electricity, emphasizing the incompetence of leadership in addressing the power crisis.

Obi's social media post reflects the frustrations of Nigerians enduring daily power shortages while the leadership appears disconnected from the people's struggles.
