Very funny country
I don’t know what to say again because I have said enough and election is coming closer

Same govt that promised citizens constant electricity but failed. What an utter failure of a government. No wonder Tinubu govt shamelessly moved to solar panel in Aso Rock. No Bayo Adelabu exported his failure to Oyo state.

All these are part of Tinubu's recorded achievements

Adelabu Minister for Power Failure!

After N10bn solar?
These people will not kill us

Is this not what those coupists wanted?
Which part of the villa is in the AEDC list and what happened to the 17 billion naira solar installation?

Presidential Villa ke, wetin happen to solar

Incompetence at its peak

It's very shameful that after 11yrs in power, APC cannot even generate a light to roast just a corn

Smh

Anyway, I'm not experiencing any blackout here because am running solar energy system right here

Switch to solar and have freedom, talk to us

I thought the have solar in the Villa. What a shame of a country .

COMRADES, the blackout is also currently hitting us here in Port Harcourt, I don't know about your area

I hope there will not be technical fault during the elections next year.

Solar dey there..Nepa com carry light here join just now

The whole news is just hilarious, I thought those at the villa had no business with the power grid since they are fully on solar abi this is a case of the more you look the less you see...

The presidential villa switching from the power grid to solar speaks volumes on how we the citizens should not expect the light to be better than how worse it is now….

Buh wait ooo, I thought they said the villa has switched to solar??

Lmao

The 2 Presidents produced by the APC have been monumental d!sasters.

Know this today and know peace...

Sai BaBa JaGaBannnnnnn

Hope no b waytin I dey think

SHUT UP THERE!

MR ''CONSTANT ELECTRICITY''.

YOUR STATE SHOULD BE PROVIDING YOU ''CONSTANT ELECTRICITY''.

THEY RECEIVE BILLIONS IN ALLOCATION MONTHLY FROM THE FG.

X5 SINCE THE END OF FUEL SUBSIDIES.

DO YOU EVER ASK YOUR THIEVING EASTERN GOVERNORS WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT MONEY?

THE AEDC IS A PRIVATE FIRM. THEY ARE THE FIRST YOU SHOULD BLAME. NOT TINUBU!!

Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) is one of the 11 power distribution companies that was successfully privatized and handed over to new investors on 1 November 2013. KANN Utility Limited (KANN) is the 60% equity holders in AEDC. The Federal Government of Nigeria holds 40% equity in AEDC. AEDC has a franchise for the distribution and sale of electricity across an area of 133,000 km2 in the Federal Capital Territory, Niger State, Kogi State and Nassarawa State. The company was established in 1997 and ranked fourth among the eleven Nigerian distribution companies for electricity purchased and distributed.

SO IF THEY STALL OR HAVE AN ISSSUE, HOW IS THAT AUTOMATICALLY TINUBU'S FAULT?

NONSENSE!!

So No sloar there or what! No enough sun to power the solar for long

Ha ha! What happun?

Solar to the rescue!

So many uneducated Nigerians.

Why do you react so violently and with insults to everyone who disagrees with you on BAT.

You are capable of marshalling your points with civil dignity.

Whether you like it or not, BAT can't be popular among the suffering masses. If you like burst a vein, it will not change.

WHY DO YOU AND YOUR FELLOW PROFESSIONAL MALCONTENTS BLAME TINUBU FOR EVERYTHING THAT GOES WRONG IN NIGERIA?

IS HE GOD?

IS HE A MAGICIAN?

IF THAT WAS PETER OBI, WOULD YOU ATTACK HIM?

NO!

YOU WOULD IDENTIFY THE COMPANY THAT MESSED UP AND GO AFTER THEM.

THAT IS WHY NOBODY CAN TAKE YOUR ATTACKS ON TINUBU SERIOUSLY.

IT'S NOT BASED ON OBJECTIVITY.

IT'S BASED ON ETHNIC BIAS AND HATE.

NOTHING ELSE!

I DON'T HOLD ''DISCUSSIONS'' WITH TRIBALISTS.

I'M A FULLY DETRIBALISED NIGERIAN, SO YOU'RE NOT ON MY LEVEL.

THERE'S THE DOOR...👉

Ok we have heard and seen these failures for who they really are.
The druggie knows nothing but to cheat, steal, and destroy. No sense no nothing. Just a waste of space answering president. He will surely have his day on the day of judgement
