PRESS RELEASE


Further to our earlier press release, we wish to apprise the general public that the immediate cause of national blackout (system collapse) was an act of vandalism on a transmission tower on the Odukpani – Ikot Ekpene 330kV double circuit transmission line thus resulting in a sudden loss of about 400MW of generation. This consequently led to a cascade of plant shut down across the country.

We wish to notify the public that power on the grid is being restowed sequentially by the System Operator as other on-grid power plants are being dispatched to cover the lost generation capacity from the Calabar power plant owned by the Niger Power Holding Company Ltd.

The PDP can keep sending their criminal puppets to vandalize power infrastructure and bomb trains as they please, what I'm absolutely sure of is their absence in Aso Rock come 2023.

Hopeless enemies of State.

How someone will have the mind to tamper a line that is carrying 330,000 Volts of electricity still baffles me.




If that amount of electricity passes through a man's body, his fried corpse would not be located for burial.

Oga, aren't you tired of all these excuses, it was the excuses of Jonathan's government that made me not to support his government and supported Buhari to take over, but Buhari is doing far worse in that aspect, if he is not capable for the job, he should resign for a capable hand to take over and stop giving excuses, as a man with family you can't tell me your enemy is destroying your house and it is affecting your wife and children and all you do is to complain to your wife and children instead of confronting your enemy and stopping him from doing the damages...

Buhari is a deceit

Imagine the wickedness. Nigerians actually deserve what they get. Leaders are product of the people after all, they don't fall from the sky.

Some Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.
This is so shameful.

They hate anything good, they hate anything uplifting.

They will suffer the consequences of their wickedness and foolishness.

What a shame.
