Adegboruwa added that Nigerians are entitled to stable and efficient power supply from the government and the Buhari administration must “crack this seemingly hard nut urgently.”
Human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN, has stated that Nigerians are tired of excuses from the Muhammadu Buhari-led government and want value for their votes.
“Indeed, the entire Ondo South Senatorial District was disconnected from the grid about 12 years ago even though attempts are underway to reconnect. Several towns and villages are like my home town, locked out of any form of development at all, yet we are classified as oil producing. Last week, the national grid collapsed for the umpteenth time. I placed an order for the replacement of a generator and got an invoice of about N5million, just for a 30-KVA version.
“Whilst commissioning traffic lights in Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos on November 12, 2014, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, as Governor of Lagos State then, had asserted that any serious government will fix the power problem in six months. In clearly a matter of fate, Fashola was subsequently appointed minister in charge of power, after the 2015 elections. He could not fix it in four years. He had power but could not deliver power.
The lawyer, in a release titled, “Government in power without power” obtained by SaharaReporters, noted that if Nigeria was supplying power to Niger Republic, then there should be no excuse for failure at home. “The impression that our leaders in power have conveyed to us is that it is practically impossible to have stable and permanent power supply; that we don’t have the resources to build the needed energy plants that will meet the needs of all Nigerians; that we must accept generators as second nature, if we must function and survive, as a people.
