The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of failing to fulfill his campaign promise to ensure a 24-hour electricity supply for Nigerians.

In a statement issued on Sunday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC lamented that more than two years into President Tinubu’s administration, over 90 million Nigerians still lack access to electricity, despite assurances made during the election campaign.

“Today, we just want to take some time to remind President Tinubu that he promised Nigerians uninterrupted electricity within four years. Yes, that’s right, Mr. President promised us 24/7 power. All by himself.

“Yet today, the facts speak louder than Mr. President’s penchant for broken promises.Since Tinubu took office, electricity tariffs have jumped by 240%, but the grid has collapsed 12 times, plunging millions of homes and businesses into repeated darkness.

“Over 90 million Nigerians still lack electricity, and those who have access only get four to six hours a day. In rural communities, most of Nigeria’s 50 million families remain completely off the grid, with no access to electricity at all,” Abdullahi wrote on X.

He added that despite all this, there has been no major reform, no clear roadmap
and no urgency from the Tinubu-led administration.

“We are past the halfway mark of this administration, and millions of Nigerians are still charging their phones at mobile charging kiosks, and spending hundreds of thousands to fuel their generators,” he added.

ADC reminded the President that he once promised to fix electricity or not expect votes in return, and said Nigerians have not forgotten.

The ADC called on President Tinubu to explain why the electricity situation is not improving and asked how much longer Nigerians must wait.
