Peter Obi Urges Nigerians to Speak Up Over Power Crisis and Governance Challenges
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has called on Nigerians to become more vocal about the country’s ongoing challenges, particularly the persistent electricity crisis and broader governance issues.
Speaking during a recent engagement, Obi compared Nigeria’s power situation with that of South Africa, noting that despite generating over 40,000 megawatts of electricity, South Africans still protest inadequate supply. In contrast, he pointed out that Nigeria generates roughly 4,000 megawatts yet citizens have largely remained silent.
“I was in South Africa, they have over 40k megawatt of electricity and yet people are complaining they have no power when we have just 4k in Nigeria and we’re not complaining. This is the time for us to come out to complain, what I’m seeing now, I can change it, Those who refuse to count our votes, we’ll count them with it. Our children cannot go on like this, this country must work, people can no longer take us for granted.” He said
