Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has criticized the recurring power outages in Nigeria, comparing the country’s situation to South Africa, which has enjoyed months of uninterrupted power supply.
Obi, in a statement released on Wednesday, expressed frustration over the frequent power outages, stating, “Just a few days ago, South Africa, with a quarter of our population, celebrated seven months of uninterrupted power supply. Yet, despite this stark disparity, Nigerians continue to endure daily power outages.
“South Africa generates and distributes about 40,000 MW of electricity, while Nigeria struggles to generate and distribute just 10% of that. Yet, despite this stark disparity, Nigerians continue to endure daily power outages.
