Our Electricity is better now!! Don’t take us back to darkness, Vote for Buhari



In 2011, President Jonathan administration sold our electricity distribution licenses to incompetent companies that have no experience on electricity. When the then Minister of power; Prof. Barth Nnaji advised that it was not a good decision, he was sacked immediately and replaced with Prof Nebo.. This contract of sale of the electricity distribution licenses were made irrevocable but renewable. To this end power became privatised since 2011.


When this government came on board, it discovered that the DISCOS were not ready to render services but to reap and recoup their investment capital immediately. The government could not repudiate the contracts because of the irrevocability clause and the doctrine of sanctity of contract. The hands of government became tied.

Then the blame is on government because the masses are unaware that power like telecommunications has been privatised. They sold the licenses to their friends and cronies. The DISCOS started disconnecting communities from the  supplies in the name of estimated bulk billing system.

This government stepped in and went out of its way by providing incentives such as duty waivers and credit facilities to the GENCOs. This was done to boost power generation which was less than 3000 megawatts at the time Buhari took over. Today, power generation is over 7000 megawatts!

A vote for Buhari will ensure the non renewal of the electricity distribution licenses of these PDP cronies that have kept us in darkness. There is electricity but the distribution is the problem. The DISCOs are not ready to provide pre-paid metres, transformers amongst others to consumers. The estimated billing system and bulk billing system are frauds.

Next year, the licenses of these capitalist extortionists will become due for renewal and they are already shivering that this government will not renew that stupid contract that kept us in darkness. A vote for Buhari will terminate that contract.

Some of the beneficiaries of the power contracts are some "powerful", stupendously Nigerians who are now doing everything possible to stop Buhari from wining election next year.

Why they hate Buhari

I took a stroll to PDP dominated platforms. My determination was to understudy the philosophy behind the increasing anger and frustration that have snowballed into utter desperation to unseat Buhari. The more my inquiry, the more I saw the innocence and sincerity of Buhari. I am a victim of intimidation and attempted murder by a powerful cabal in a PDP State. Innocent though I am, it cost me my job and I have lost everything because I support and love Buhari Two geo political zones were the initial focus of my research. People from these PDP geo political zones are visible in social media especially in twitter. They use religion and the media for sponsored propaganda against Buhari as a strategy to dislodge him from power come 2019.  Buhari does not pay the media, he has stopped the culture of Aso Rock Envelopes and Private jets. Desperadoes especially in PDP must hunt him down by negative propaganda aimed at presenting him as the sole cause of all the problems that bedevil Ni...

The foundation has been layed, let’s rebuild Nigeria

Nigeria was ruled for 16 years by PDP, those 16 years were the years we can use a word commonly used in crude oil market “Oil boom” for Nigeria, Nigeria got a lot of billions of dollars through oil sales, revenues and all other sources of income to the country. But unfortunately with PDP has little to show in terms of nation building considering the huge amount of resources they had at their disposal. Nigeria was looted, money was siphoned thorough sources into the pockets of individuals and politicians. Corruption got so deeply rooted to our systems to the extent significant number of masses believe Nigeria cannot get rid of corruption. For the first time in Since 1999 we have a Government that has pressed a reset button on the whole systems and institutions that drains our resources and the government is carefully and strategically finding ways to find and identify those institutions that drains our resources and shut them one after the other. This Government is the present ...
