Question of the Day: Did Buhari’s Admin Provide Constant Power Supply?

The answer is actually a resounding ‘NO’…

In July 1985, 20 full months into Buhari’s military administration, here is how Rilwanu Lukman, the Junta’s Minister of Mines, Power and Steel explained the reason for Nigeria’s lack of constant power supply (electricity):

“Every Nigerian is responsible for this mess. A consumer ought to ensure he pays his bills, that his system is not overloaded and that NEPA equipment are protected.

Motorists always knock down NEPA equipment without making reports. If the Nigerian does not want to be connected illegally, he won’t be connected.

Nigerians know precisely what they are doing. It is no ignorance and they need no further education. Nigerians know that if they go out to buy rice, they have to pay for it. Electricity supply is no different.”

Question 1, did Buhari’s admin take personal responsibility for not delivering constant power supply? NO

Question 2, did Buhari’s admin blame Nigerians for the problem of not being able to deliver constant power supply? Yes.

Consequently, as we can see, the narrative about Buhari delivering constant power supply is a myth.

Worse still, despite having absolute power to do something about providing constant power supply, Buhari failed woefully, and not being able to deliver, his admin had the gall to blame Nigerians for their failure.

The fact that is regime was able to figure out the root cause is a plus unlike the current regime.

Na u sabi. If you like bring water board own

The evil general is promising power hw cudnt provide 30 yrs ago.

Flets:
The evil general is promising power hw cudnt provide 30 yrs ago.

When he had absolute power. If he couldn't provide then how can he provide it now in a democratic setting?

Buhari is now a magician with a manic stick like 50 cent,he will conjure like from thin air and it will appear,Alahu akbar

Credit to AyeDee indeed

I wanted to praise the writer before.. Not until I discovered it was Ayedee..

The guy who hacked Linda Ikeji blog for no good reason..

He's enjoying his life in U.S.A and misleading Nigeria youths here..

The guy was hailing GMB before the "stomach infrastructure" came in

#SCAMBUHARI

While he's at it, he should compare apple and orange and tell us what the result is. The fish brains at GEJ's camp have been feeding us with what GEJ did that GMB didn't do, but what they failed to add to the comparison are Buhari's achievements in 2 years. GEJ is clocking 6 years, and this is all they could come up with?

For all the so-called transformation by GEJ, Life has never been worse for an average Nigerian.

Op in as much you wan to convince us that Buhari did nothing...I think those who are adult then in 1985 we agree Nigeria light has never been this bad.Why comparing then and now...the question that shu b in our mouth is has there been any improvements so far in the past six yrs?
