ADC accuses Tinubu of failing to keep his electricity promise
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Daily Post
The presidential campaign of Nigeria’s opposition ADC says Nigerians are still waiting for the reliable electricity promised by Bola Tinubu, who had said not to re-elect him if he failed. It accuses him of making fresh promises in Kaduna, Rivers and Jigawa and questions the fate of 2,000 tractors imported from Brazil, according to a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan.
The presidential campaign council of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a Nigerian opposition party, says Nigerians are still waiting for President Bola Tinubu to keep his promise of reliable electricity. It said so in a statement by its director of media, Kola Ologbondiyan, quoted by Daily Post.
The council recalls that Tinubu had said: "If I don’t give you electricity, don’t vote for me for a second term." It accuses him of making fresh promises during his campaign trips to Kaduna, Rivers and Jigawa, instead of accounting for his record.
The ADC also questions the fate of 2,000 tractors reportedly imported from Brazil under the government’s agricultural mechanisation programme. Finally, it accuses Tinubu of claiming credit for projects launched by his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari.
These criticisms respond to Tinubu’s commitment, reported on 10 November, to promise reliable electricity before the 2027 presidential election. The same day, the ADC challenged Tinubu to face Atiku at the polls on 16 January 2027.
