A Rejection of Historical Blame

The political discourse surrounding Nigeria’s energy crisis intensified on Monday, April 27, 2026, as ADC Chieftain Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze responded to President Tinubu's claims that a "flawed privatization" process by previous administrations is the root cause of persistent power shortages. Eze dismissed these assertions, labeling them a "story for the gods." He reminded the public that the President’s 2023 campaign was built on the explicit vow to fix the sector, regardless of the structural weaknesses inherited from his predecessors.

Failed Promises and "Horrifying Darkness"

In a formal statement, Eze highlighted the contrast between the President's campaign rhetoric and the current reality of the national grid. He noted that despite billions of naira in budgetary allocations over the last three years, Nigeria remains plunged in what he described as "total and horrifying darkness." Eze criticized the administration’s reliance on foreign borrowing to sustain a collapsing grid, arguing that the promised "power sector reforms" have yielded only corruption and systemic failure rather than the light Nigerians were led to expect.

Integrity and the 2027 Mandate

Drawing on the President’s own campaign rhetoric, Eze recalled that Tinubu once suggested Nigerians should not vote for him if he failed to improve the electricity supply. The ADC chieftain urged citizens to "obey Tinubu’s wish" by preparing to vote the administration out in 2027. He characterized the government’s performance as a hallmark of "ineptitude and corruption," suggesting that the integrity and credibility of the ruling party have been permanently compromised by the inability to deliver on foundational infrastructure needs.
