The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, has lamented the recent collapse of the national grid, saying Nigeria’s power crisis is a direct result of continuous leadership failures.
Obi said this on Saturday in a post he shared on his verified X account, in reaction to Friday’s collapse of the national grid which led to a nationwide blackout.
“2026: The Collapse Continues – In January 2025, we witnessed the first grid collapse of that year, which was followed by several other collapses. Now in January, 2026 the national shame has commenced with yesterday’s collapse,” he said.
“This power crisis is a direct result of continuous leadership failures. The power sector is critical and requires competent and committed leadership to thrive.”
He said it is utterly disappointing that for three consecutive years—from 2023 to 2025—”our nation has been ranked as having the least access to electricity globally, with nearly 100 million citizens left without power.
Unfortunately, these are the kind of news the APC and their supporters describe as remarketing the country
How far with electricity in Anambra during and after his 8 years tenure
Is there anything that can shock us as nation?
