Peter Obi Criticizes Tinubu Over Power

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the United Kingdom — Labour Party, has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu for failing to improve Nigeria's electricity supply, a key promise made during his 2023 campaign. Obi highlighted that power generation has decreased from over 4,000 megawatts when Tinubu took office to less than 4,000 megawatts, while electricity tariffs have significantly increased. He also noted that Nigeria's per capita electricity consumption remains among the lowest globally. Obi referenced a recent incident at Jos airport where President Tinubu reportedly cited a lack of electricity as a reason for a brief visit, which Obi used to underscore the disconnect between the leadership and the struggles of ordinary Nigerians. Obi urged Nigerians to hold President Tinubu accountable and reject incompetent leaders in future elections.
