Peter Obi Slams Tinubu Over Failed Electricity Promises

Former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi criticized President Tinubu for failing to deliver on electricity promises made during his 2023 campaign. Obi referenced Tinubu's 2023 statement that voters should reject him for a second term if he didn't provide steady power, noting 32 months later the national grid remains unreliable. He emphasized Nigerians expect 100% effort and measurable improvements, not just 100% promise fulfillment. Obi highlighted Tinubu's disconnect from the grid while allocating ₦10 billion for solar upgrades at Aso Rock, questioning governance priorities. 'You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself,' he wrote. The statement was posted on Obi's verified X account on Monday.
