The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Sunday said it would provide 20,000 megawatts (mw) of electricity in the first four years of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
A statement issued by Mallam Garba Shehu, the spokesman of the APC campaign organisation, said:“Nearly 16 years of PDP administration gave this country a miserly addition of 1,400 Mega Watts against the expenditure of more than $16 billion. That translates to 18.5 MW per annum”.
“This abysmal power production and distribution, with its attendant socio-economic implications, is the most irresponsible thing a government can do to its people. The appalling lack of capacity to deal with just any problem confronting this country and the lack of vision and commitment to dealing with electricity supply was just one of the myriads of the others begging for attention.”
“The only conclusion to draw from this is that the PDP is more interested in feathering the nest of importers of generators than in the wellbeing of Nigerian citizens and their businesses.”
