ADC Slams Tinubu’s Power Promises Over Unmet Electricity Goals

The African Democratic Congress has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration over its failure to deliver on its promise of providing uninterrupted electricity to Nigerians.

The party’s interim spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, reminded the president of his campaign vow to ensure 24/7 power supply within four years and urged Nigerians not to vote for him in a second term if he failed.

Abdullahi accused the Tinubu administration of worsening the country’s power woes, citing a 240% increase in electricity tariffs and 12 national grid collapses since the president assumed office.

He also highlighted that over 90 million Nigerians lack access to electricity, with many receiving only 4-6 hours of power daily.

The ADC’s criticism comes as the government faces growing pressure to address the country’s power challenges. Despite the president’s campaign promises to modernize and decentralize the power sector, critics argue that progress has been slow, and the impact of rising tariffs has been felt by many Nigerians.

Abdullahi’s statement concluded with a pointed reminder of Tinubu’s campaign rhetoric, suggesting that Nigerians will hold the president accountable for his promises in 2027.

The ADC’s criticism adds to the growing chorus of voices calling for meaningful reform in Nigeria’s power sector.
