Nigerians still waiting for Tinubu’s promised electricity - ADC

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council, ADC-PCC, has said Nigerians are still waiting for President Bola Tinubu to fulfil his campaign promise of providing reliable electricity.

The Council challenged the President to explain why millions of Nigerians continue to experience poor power supply despite his pledge that voters should not re-elect him if he failed to deliver electricity.

In a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the ADC-PCC accused Tinubu of making fresh promises during his recent campaign outings in Kaduna, Rivers and Jigawa states instead of presenting a clear account of his administration’s achievements.

Recalling the President’s campaign promise, the Council quoted him as saying, “If I don’t give you electricity, don’t vote for me for a second term.”

"Tinubu s only repeating his old electricity promise in Jigawa, while Nigerians are still waiting for answers on why reliable power supply remains out of reach,” the Council said.

The Council also questioned the whereabouts and impact of 2,000 tractors reportedly imported from Brazil under the administration’s mechanised farming programme.

It further accused Tinubu of taking credit for projects started by his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, while failing to show enough achievements of his own.
