Peter Obi Backs Tinubu Government On Electricity Tariff Hike by BeeBeeOoh(m): 7:07am On Apr 08
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has toed the path of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government on a new electricity tariff hike.

Obi, on Sunday, said increasing electricity tariff for the rich is best.

Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved a tariff increase on Tuesday last week for Band A customers.

Reacting to the development, Obi said that was the solution to Nigeria’s electricity challenges.

He stressed that a tariff increase for urban areas that can afford it is understandable.

“The solution is very simple (referring to electricity tariff hike), you can increase the tariff for those in areas where they can afford it.

“We must do a lot in power generation because it has taken so long. But we have to take into consideration that the majority of Nigerians are suffering.

“So we need to support people in those areas to be able to live and be able to produce something.

“When they start to produce something, we are pushing them out of poverty, and that’s where my theory of moving from consumption to production comes in”, he said.

Man is beginning to support every policy of President Tinubu this days.

My worst worry is that even the uncultured and unlearned Obidients who know next to nothing like their leader will say the President is taking his advice.

Peter Obi is a big fan of the President if y'all don't know.

I also backed Tinubu on electricity subsidy removal
I can see he is gradually getting it right with petrol and dollar which is more difficult so he will easily get it right with electricity

In the next couple of weeks or months fuel sell for 300 naira and dollar to naira around 800 to 900

So why not apply the same tactics to electricity and I guess that’s what he is doing

These are his exact words 'you can increase the tariff for those in areas where they can afford'


How many Nigerians can afford to pay higher tariff than what people in USA pay when minimum wage in USA is much higher than Nigeria?


Band A can be found in rural areas too, and not everyone on Band A in urban area is a millionaire.

Misleading caption by another agbadorian newspaper.

Which means if he was the president he would have done the same thing, even fuel subsidy removal?
