The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said he has been threatened many times by unknown persons who are against the reforms in the country’s power sector.

Adelabu, a former Oyo State governorship candidate, said he would not be bullied and intimidated by those against the progress and success recorded in the sector.

Speaking during an interview on Fresh FM’s ‘Political Circuit’ programme, the former minister asserted that all problems in the power sector are surmountable.

The minister also claimed that cabals and cartels are behind the blowing up of power transmission substations with dynamites and the pulling down of a power line.



He said, “There will be resistance, people stand in your way, saboteurs and others. Let me say this for the first time. I receive threat calls,” he said.

“I am the 49th power minister in the country. The past ministers were probably bullied and intimated in their work. It does not take ordinary people to blow up a power transmission substation with dynamites and pull down a power line.


Minister assures Nigerians of stable power supply
“It is an organised crime. It is a cabal and cartel. We are all Nigerians, but we are all Nigerians. We will not run away from ourselves.”


Speaking further on the significant development attained in his one year in office, he said Nigeria had struggled with electricity generation of 4,000 megawatts (MW).

Adelabu added that in less than a year in office, his development plans have added more than 1,000MW of electricity to the capacity of the national grid.

He said, “We have raised the electricity generating capacity from 4,000MW to 5,155MW recorded on the 8th of August, 2024. In the past, it took the country over 25 years to achieve 2,000MW of power, and it took between 1984 and today to achieve an additional 2,000MW.

“When we resumed as a minister, the electricity generated was 4,000MW and within a year, we have added over 1,000MW. Our target is to hit 6,000MW with the support of the Federal Government before the end of this year.”

Blaming the devil. They want to blame you for their lapses. Do I control police or army. Incompetency. 200m people sharing 4000mw and bandits A take the larger shares.

Adelabu is doing a good job. All the bastards who are blowing up power lines and substations should be killed when they are caught

What is the work of dss, nsa, nia, military intelligence if cabals are busy sabotaging the country

Always citing invisible cabals as excuses for their failure.

C h a i..













It seems Cabals are very powerful that they can shake a whole country Nigeria at will,,

I want to be a part of them.

Incompetent blame game Minister.

You people should be reaonable for once

I dont care what part of Nigeria you are currently living but I can bet that deep down within you, you sure know the power distribution has improved alot in the last few months


If he is tryna blame some "Elements" for this, then try give him some benefit of doubt and he might not be entirely wrong

No be everytime una suppose dey spit negativity on top thread

COMRADES, Adelabu is a useless man, he is too incompetent to handle the power sector, who is threatening you?

And now this incompetent and inept fool has been blaming Nigerians for the epileptic power supply and recurrent collapse of the national grid under his miserable ministry. To provide steady 24 hours electricity is still rocket science?

That’s very bad

This is Economic Crime.

Manufacturing is being affected and critical sectors will have to depend on expensive fuel to support itself. This is how Inflation is being manufactured and the masses are dying of basic needs of survival.

Whose job is it to fight Economic and Financial Crime?

I thought before now lie Mohammed said they have generated over 7000 megawatts but it's the transmission side that cannot carry it

They only look for excuses, why not arrest the cabals?

The I must defend at all cost is useless, you don't want the government infrastructure to be blown up then ensure they are well protected it has nothing to do with the part of the country I am from,.it is the right thing to do, stop all this useless defense because you are from one part of the country, of he doesn't know what to do he should resign rather than coming up.to say infrastructures are blown up when the people to protect those infrastructures are protecting him and his goons if you don't like my comments please look for the transformer close to the minister house and hug 🤗
