APC Calls for Full Assessment of Tinubu's Power Promise

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, through spokesperson Dele Alake, asserted that President Bola Tinubu's 2023 electricity promise must be assessed comprehensively, including the stipulation that he would owe Nigerians explanations if he failed to deliver before seeking a second term. During his campaign, Tinubu emphasized the need to eliminate estimated billing for electricity.

The council noted that since 2023, there have been improvements in electricity supply, metering, and infrastructure, although challenges remain. Tinubu signed the Electricity Act on June 9, 2023, allowing states to engage in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.

Over 1.5 million customers have been metered under the Presidential Metering Initiative, with a significant gap still present. The administration initiated a N4 trillion bond program to address legacy debts owed to power generation and gas companies.

Additionally, Tinubu signed an Acceleration Agreement in December 2023 for grid projects, with further substations approved in June 2026.
