Peter Obi Criticizes Tinubu Over Electricity Failures
Former Anambra governor Peter Obi criticized President Tinubu for failing to deliver stable electricity, a key 2023 campaign promise. In a Monday X post, Obi highlighted Tinubu's disconnect of the Presidential Villa from the national grid despite Nigerians still facing power shortages. He noted ₦10 billion allocated in 2025 and 2026 budgets for solar upgrades at Aso Rock, questioning leadership priorities. "You cannot tell Nigerians to fast while feasting yourself," Obi stated, adding the move signals governance lacking compassion. Nigeria's grid collapsed twice in early 2026, dropping generation to zero megawatts. Obi's comments underscore the gap between government actions and citizens' daily struggles.
