Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has spoken out against the ongoing electricity crisis in Nigeria. He has called for a political will to address the situation and ensure that Nigerians have access to reliable and affordable electricity.
Obi expressed his concern about the current state of the power sector in Nigeria, noting that it has been a persistent problem for decades. He stressed that the lack of electricity is a major obstacle to economic growth and development in the country. According to Obi, the solution to the electricity crisis requires a combination of strategies, including investment in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, as well as the repair and maintenance of existing power infrastructure. He also emphasized the need for a more transparent and accountable system for managing electricity distribution, which he believes will help to reduce waste and improve efficiency in the sector. Obi urged the government to take decisive action to address the electricity crisis and provide Nigerians with the power they need to live and work. He called on political leaders to prioritize the issue and work together to find long-term solutions that will benefit all Nigerians.
