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...

Golden words: I am not interested in amassing wealth- President Buhari

“I'm not interested in amassing wealth, I've never been and that is why I don't own oil wells and foreign accounts etc. This is the very reason that I'm not in collusion with anyone to share or embezzle the wealth of this nation. As a retired Head of State, my pension, savings, farms and other entitlements are sufficient to cater for my family. Remember, I don't have seven wives and eighty children. My only reason to take up leadership of this nation is to do the most I can, to do the things that others couldn't sum up the will to do and without same this nation will continue to pour our Honey into a basket and always be left with nothing. I may not be the best, I have my shortfalls but my intentions are always sincere and noble”
