Presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said it's wrong to describe Nigerian youths as lazy when the country has failed to provide regular electricity supply.
Tinubu said this at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium while addressing the teeming crowd that graced the South-West youths rally of the ruling party on Saturday April 16, 2022.
Recall that the former Lagos Governor had in January announced his intention to join the presidential race after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking at the rally, Tinbu noted that no "rapid development" can take place in a country without adequate electricity, adding that Nigeria can't afford to continue to give "excuses" for failure to generate sufficient power.

Asiwaju also argued that the country is endowed with enough gas resources that can be deployed to generate electricity and even export the excess to European countries.
“We cannot continue with excuses on NEPA failure. No! No nation can make rapid development without electricity,” Tinubu said.
“Give us that, and if we cannot be successful, you can abuse us. You cannot give us erratic electricity that is undependable and then blame us again that we are lazy. No!

“Nigeria — it is about time. We have enough gas to fire up our electricity. We can supply the rest of Europe with gas, and we can make money from it.”
Tinubu's comment might be viewed as a vague reference to a statement made by Buhari about four years ago.

Back in 2018, Buhari claimed that many Nigerian youths prefer to just sit down and do nothing, relying on the notion that Nigeria is an oil-rich state.
He made this assertion while speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster, claiming that a lot of Nigerian youths have refused to get education and want everything free.

He's just waking up from his slumber, too late Mr tinubu.

You aided and abetted every misdeed of this government

Why don't you say this before, until now you are aspiring for the post of president.

Jagaban

When the campaign proper starts ... Jagaban would go hard

Desperation kills.

This man will certainly slump and die if he doesn't get APC ticket.

Moreover, Tinubu and Osinbajo can never be president of Nigeria. They're both wasting their time.

Just shut your stinking mouth up, shebi u were with Buhari all through his campaign and u never criticise him all this years. Our mumu don do.

Tinubu is part of our problems, he cannot be the solution- these people only want to drag Nigeria to the graves with themselves.

Tinubu can never be the president.

Eat his money when you can.
