Even if you can't solve it in four years, when there is progress, people will know, we are not blind. We don't need any excuses from anybody again. Despite all the billions of dollars, we keep seeing only marginal or negligible increase\improvement in the power sector💔💔💔😡

this is the same excuse people in Abuja used to make concerning insecurity, they will always boast when we complain of insecurity that Abuja is safe as if everybody lives in Abuja, the insecurity is now everywhere, they can't make that boast anymore. Is everybody on band A? The govt takes the little power they have generated after spending billions over the years , and distribute the power to a few people they called band A customers while leaving others in darkness. In my place in Benin city, no light for almost two months, we are the ones that bought, service and maintain our transformer despite paying the bills. Even the little three hours we see once in a while isn't existent anymore . My family house in another part of the town is another colour of problem, voltage is always very low and can't charge even your phones sometimes. Some prepaid meters can't even pick the low voltage. Everybody isn't on band A, just few customers.

Let's just say it's a straightforward assessment of a promising leader. A solid, confident statement of support, really. No room for doubt, just solidifying his position.

Tell us what the drug baron has achieved in 3 yrs plus in the power sector and what apc government has achieved in 11 yrs with fasola as Minister of power.
When will the drug baron allow live interviews with Nigeria. He is waiting for obi to say things so he can steal ideas from him and mismanagement good ideas

So you guys know that power problem cannot be solved in 4 years?

Anyway, have you been able to prove that Obi (drug baron) is not into drugs, because I got more sources for you.

The matter is getting more serious:

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/619963-court-dismisses-peter-obis-us-drug-trafficking-allegation-against-tinubu.html

Next I suggest you read this open letter to Obi, take note of this extract:

On the same topic of transparency, sir, it remains a mystery how you became rich and wealthy in dollars because you have refused to disclose to the public your life trajectory while continuing to avoid answering the question of how you made your money. Your parents, like most of our parents, were common traders in Onitsha, Anambra State, with no other investments aside from the kiosk at Ose Okwodu. But you became a billionaire out of nowhere and have never explained how. Sir, you should not be the one discussing transparency in government or anywhere else.

...
You’ve been implicated in drug cartels numerous times, along with your eternal friend Benjamin Ubah, an ex-convict in the United States of America for drug offenses. Not only him, but your brother, Damian Obi, has been barred from entering the United States for the same drug-related offense. We have other names for those who are your allies and childhood friends. It’s on good record that a certain Gregory Obi was involved in this drug syndicate, which was you, but you quickly dropped the name Gregory from your documents and replaced it with Peter and Onwubuasi to alter your identity till date. Sir, if you are indeed sincere and transparent enough, kindly let the world know the source of your wealth and the over $50 million you have saved in offshore accounts as exposed by the Pandora papers.

POWER PROMISE IN RETREAT: Blueprintless Peter Discovers Reality on Channels by CharlesCNG.

Only weeks ago, Peter Obi mounted the campaign stage and promised that, within four years, Nigeria would generate, transmit and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity.

Then Seun Okinbaloye brought out the dangerous weapon every slogan fears:

A follow-up question.

Seun asked for a realistic timeline for reliable, stable, 24-hour electricity.

Suddenly, Megawatt Peter became Maybe-Watt Peter.

His answer?

“Reliable, stable 24-hour electricity within four years is impossible.”

Interesting.

When there was a microphone, a convention crowd and applause, four years sounded like enough time to transform electricity.

When Seun requested implementation details, four years suddenly became too short because power plants and transmission lines take years to build.

Obi still repeated the 10,000 MW target—but then said Nigeria already generates more than 10,000 MW and merely fails to transmit it.
SOMEONE FINALLY TOLD HIM THE OBVIOUS HE DID KNOW EARLIER?

So what exactly is the promise?

To generate 10,000 MW?

To add 10,000 MW?

Or to transmit capacity supposedly already available?

This is classic BS Peter.

First comes the magnificent destination.

Then comes the interview.

Then comes the explanation that the destination is impossible within the advertised timetable.

Nobody faults Obi for acknowledging that national power reform takes time. That is reality.

The problem is that reality seems to arrive only after the campaign slogan has collected its applause.

With Blueprintless Peter, electricity promises travel at 10,000 megawatts.

The details arrive by candlelight.


“Blueprintless Peter does not yet have a power plan; he has a megawatt slogan.

Abufo:
Your current colonial master in aso Rock has budgeted 12 billion dollars for a coastal road to nowhere......that tells you all that you need to know! APC lacks depth and initiative!
THE “$12 BILLION ROAD TO NOWHERE” CLAIM IS POLITICAL ACCOUNTING TO NOWHERE.

Calling the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway a “$12 billion road to nowhere” is a clever slogan built on financial distortion.

First, the Federal Government did[b] not[/b] simply withdraw $12 billion and hand it to a contractor. The entire 700-kilometre corridor has been estimated at about $11 billion, to be developed in phases over roughly eight years.

The financing already secured has also been tied to specific sections:

$747 million was raised through a Deutsche Bank-led syndicate for the initial 47.47-kilometre section.
Another $1.126 billion financing package was closed for Phase One, Section Two.

That is project financing—not a mysterious $12 billion budget line.

Second, where exactly is “nowhere”?

The highway is designed to connect Lagos with Calabar through the coastal corridor, linking communities and economic centres across Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River.
It is intended to improve access to ports, industrial zones, agricultural areas and tourism destinations.

The road is also not an ordinary strip of asphalt. The initial section includes six concrete lanes, shore protection, drainage and lighting. The Works Minister placed the comparable two-lane-equivalent cost at about ₦7.5 billion per kilometre. That government calculation should be independently audited, but critics cannot honestly compare it with the cost of a basic two-lane inland road.

There are legitimate questions:

Was procurement sufficiently competitive?

Are compensation and environmental protections adequate?

Will toll revenue cover maintenance and debt obligations?

Will every section be completed on schedule?

Those are serious accountability questions.

But “road to nowhere” is not analysis. It is like calling a bridge useless because construction has not yet reached the opposite bank.

The emerging Obidient strategy for 2027 is obvious: repeat the largest possible dollar figure, conceal the phased financing, ignore the road’s width and coastal engineering, and pretend that nine southern states lead nowhere.

As usual opposition / obidients is driving its argument on a road paved with misinformation and Propaganda.

Your defence defeats itself.

You admit there is a limit to how much electricity can be delivered within four years because generation depends on factors such as gas supply, transmission, distribution, metering, tariffs and sector liquidity.

Wonderful. Why did Peter Obi not explain those limitations before announcing 10,000MW as though megawatts were campaign souvenirs?

Why did the complexity suddenly become obvious only when an interviewer asked, “How?”

A prepared candidate studies the constraints before making the promise. He does not announce the destination and discover the missing bridge when Seun corners him with follow-up questions.

Nigeria already has about 13,625MW of installed grid-connected capacity, yet only an average of 4,286MW was available for dispatch in April 2026. The real challenge is making existing plants operational, supplying sufficient gas, expanding transmission, strengthening distribution and restoring financial stability.

And since you asked what Tinubu has done:

* Signed the Electricity Act 2023, decentralising the market and allowing states to regulate electricity within their territories.
* Revived the Siemens Presidential Power Initiative; commissioned 10 mobile substations and 10 power transformers, adding a reported 984MVA to transmission capacity.
* Approved refinancing of ₦4 trillion in historic debts owed largely to 27 generating companies.
* Approved ₦185 billion toward longstanding gas debts to improve fuel supply to power plants.
* Reformed tariffs for higher-consuming customers, increasing market revenue by about ₦700 billion and reducing the subsidy shortfall from ₦3 trillion to ₦1.9 trillion.

Has Tinubu solved electricity? No. Generation remains inadequate, gas supply recently met only about 43% of power plants’ requirements, and implementation must move faster.

But these are concrete interventions across the entire electricity chain.

As for interviews and name-calling, that is another diversion. Tinubu’s interview schedule cannot manufacture the details missing from Obi’s promise.

And the claim that Tinubu is waiting to “steal” Obi’s ideas is particularly funny.

How do you steal a blueprint its owner refuses to reveal and apparently cannot explain?

Nobody is hunting Obi for ideas. Nigerians are simply asking him to defend the megawatt figure he voluntarily announced.

Once again: Where is the plan?
