Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, says Nigerians have more electricity than they can consume.

He said this while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Monday.

He said the current Federal Government is building infrastructure across the country, and every state has at least two federal roads currently in construction.

“We have more electricity that cannot be consumed, 2,000 megawatts of electricity that nobody is taking. By the year ending, we are going to hit 10,000 megawatts from the 2,600 that we inherited.” he said.

He also said that the war against corruption led by the President was attracting lots of attacks from those who benefitted from the old system of things.

"As I speak to you now, two former state governors are in jail; a lot of people thought that this war against corruption is a joke and that the back-and-forth that had characterized this over time, will continue," he said.

"One of the two cases was determined after 11 years of back-and-forth between lawyers and judges, kicking the ball from this court to that court. A lot of these harsh attacks against the President are coming from people who had become used to lifestyle they cannot sustain.

"On record, there were people in this country, because they are influential, they had permanent suites in major hotels in Abuja where they lived lavishly at the public's expense. And, when they are leaving, they are accompanied with bags of Ghana-Must-Go. They will continue to fight the president, but the happiness we have is that ordinary low-level Nigerians understand the huge conspiracy.”

He then assured the public that the President would continue to develop the economy of the country despite these "attacks".

“Nigerians are with the President, the elite are going to places, America and the United Kingdom, and they are clicking in posh homes in Abuja, Lagos and some major cities in the country. They are trying to thwart the goodwill of the president towards the people. But this economy is being re-built; more foreign investment is coming, more infrastructure is being given to Nigerians and even the security infrastructure which had suffered neglect over the years is being given priority,” he said.

He added that no government in the past did as much for the military and the police as the current administration is doing.

Dis ediot is inadvertently saying Nigerians do not deserve and need steady power supply becos even darkness knows and d epileptic one we get is more than enough for us. Dis cow obviously has less sense than he needs

#Eco99#

hate speech

Ha. Na today i knw say many people for buhari government get skushi for head..

Is it a must for these guys to say something even when what they say or want to say is obviously very stupid, huh?

choice see lie.

Oh my God, is this man normal?
10,000 megawatts for over 190 million Nigerians?
When South Africa of 55mill people are having over 45,000 plus megawatts as at March 2017. This guy needs headbutting !

Sir, with all due respect you are mad!

Your name must be GARUBA SH!THOLE


What sort of nonsense/fvckery is he saying?

more what? may you never know light, there shall be no light in ur life for that statement

What a country with stupid leaders

Big hausa fool

REALLY

Lol Nigeria sha

lol, i've not had light for up to a week now....

Really?
Though I think electricity has gone up a bit, no day wey I No dey see light

malificent:
Sir, with all due respect you are mad!

your insult carry respect. Lol

Not true

South Africa generates 40000MW. We need at least 80000MW before we can see light 24/7.

And that is not mentioning the transmission system that needs some fixing urgently.

Lagos city alone needs 10000MW.

Mr Shehu should stop boasting...and for once be honest. Nigeria needs billions of US dollars to fix power. Most of thise billions are going to come from our pockets. It does not win elections, but it is honesty.

Govt better find the $300bn ($900bn according to some experts) needed to fix light...and bills have to be raised. (Our foreign reserve is just under $45 billion, and was once at $60billion. You see the problem).

12000 MW is enough to just give Nigerians CURRENTLY CONNECTED TO THE GRID (Minus those who are not lgally connected to the gird) 10 hours of light daily.

This statement must have been fabricated by the opposition, its not from the presidency.

What did we do to deserve this in Nigeria

More Electricity that we can consume..lol, this is worst than hate speech, all Buhari media team are delusional

Hahaha. Omo, this madness don enter gear 2.
