theoldpretender:
Ghana generates 3600 mw.

Source : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_Ghana

Plus, the power sector in Nigeria has been privatised since the last admin

Add the fact that most of my figures have sources.

Power needs money. And right now we need to increase generation massively.

If anything, I am not here to.lie,i tell the truth, plus I supported the privatization process
That was as at 2015
when Ghana was having a generation issue

According to.USAID figures from 2018,Ghana has an.installed capacity of 4000MW, with 2400MW available at any time.

https://www.usaid.gov/powerafrica/ghana

Plus, Ghana.has less than 20million people, compared to our 200million which is why their power supply appears better than ours.

Ghana.does not generate 26000mw.If they did,they won't be importing power from us

“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. not that he said Nigerians have more Electricity than they can consumer..Twisting of statement of Preisdential Aides will not help us in this country, it is important to let Nigerians no the truth and not attempt to mislead people for political gain..

And its a fact that extra 2,000 Megawatts of electricity have been created by this government, just that the Discos need to be upgraded to carry this extra electricity created. But the 2018 Budget has allocated sum of 29billion naira for the upgrade of the Discos

Nigerian has 2000 megawatts of electricity that is not consumed.

Or

Nigeria has more electricity than is currently being consumed

Or

Nigeria have more electricity than it is using.

All the above appropriately reflect what the man said

He must mean more power than the national grid can handle.

The government should take steps to increase grid capacity but i know we have more light in my area now.

The impression created by your suggested headings is that there is a glut in electricity generation which is far from the truth. The fact that there is a transmission issue is not enough to warrant the statement of the Presidential spokesman. What he should have said should be "There has been improvement in power generation, Government will ensure that the excess power generated is transmitted and distributed to meet the ever growing electricity demands of the populace"

The spokesman's statement indicated an over production of electricity and a lack of demand therein.

OK... but good to know you now know that Ghana does not generate 25000mw.

One more thing, this power thing has long gone beyond politics.
