The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to provide steady power supply in the South East region or shut down and vacate the region immediately.

IPOB made the demand in a statement issued on Friday by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful.

Powerful also lambasted the power distribution company for excessive estimated billing of electricity consumers in the South East.

According to the IPOB spokesperson, EEDC is engaging in what he described as a deceptive strategy to sway the people of the South East by claiming that IPOB criticisms over non-supply of power and extortion of their customers was misinformation.

encourages vandalism because many communities pay through their nose to EEDC to fix the vandalised infrastructures.

“Many faulty power transformers that some villagers bought by themselves that EEDC took for repairs were never returned to the communities.

“The EEDC claimed that no amount was involved in the MOU signed by Anambra State Government and EEDC. We therefore challenge EEDC to publish the same terms of MOU.

“The EEDC further claimed that their Chairman, Emeka Offor was wrongly portrayed. They claimed that their chairman had a testimonial of good works in the South-East but failed to show any evidence of his good works.

“The EEDC must provide adequate light and free prepaid meters across the South East. All the lazy excuses why EEDC are strangulating economic growth in the South-East will no longer be tolerated.

“If EEDC is finding it difficult to provide power to the South-East region based on the challenges they enumerated in their press release, then they should plan to vacate the South-East for another company to take over before we chase them out of the South-East without remorse.”
