Electricity: Tinubu finally copied my 21-Year power sector blueprint — Atiku
Former Vice President of Nigeria and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has finally adopted his 21-year-old power sector blueprint as a solution to Nigeria’s electricity challenges.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the Tinubu administration had embraced a policy direction he first proposed more than two decades ago.
He pointed to comments by the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, that Nigeria can no longer rely solely on large, centralised power plants, describing the position as a belated endorsement of the decentralised electricity generation model he championed years ago.
> “It should not take a government three years in office to discover what was obvious more than two decades ago.
> “A government that thinks before it acts would have fixed the system before asking citizens to pay more. Unfortunately, this administration has done the exact opposite—raising tariffs first and only now beginning to think about the reforms required to justify those increases,” Atiku said.
The former vice president stated that during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he consistently advocated decentralising electricity generation by harnessing Nigeria’s hydroelectric dams, gas, solar and other energy resources.
“This has been my position for over two decades,” he added.
