Nigeria in Consistent Darkness under APC

Many states and neighbourhoods did not have power for most of the days that the convention held. People had to rely on their generating sets and their phones to follow developments in Abuja.

It has almost become a norm for the nation’s electricity grid to frequently crash, and sometimes to zero generation level, thereby plunging many homes and businesses into total darkness and resultant pains. Yet, these politicians from the ruling party had the effrontery to gather in Abuja to be singing and dancing as if they had delivered dividends of democracy with the mandate they were given in 2015.

When the party won elections in 2015 and 2019, they promised Nigerians regular power supply to boost the economy. After seven years, they have not been able to add a single megawatt to the one they inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Even the one they met, they have not been able to maintain it. Currently, the country runs on far less than 3,000mw from the about 5,000mw they inherited. Yet they want to remain and retain power in 2023.

As most Nigerians were watching officials of party speak at the event, castigating and casting aspersion at the PDP and its members, one would think they have done far better in all spheres.

Be it security, corruption and economy which were priority areas of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, Nigerians have not seen any visible result.

On a daily basis, people are being killed as nowhere is safe any longer. Corruption has increased in geometric progression in every sector and the economy is worse as people are hungry as everything is almost beyond reach due to hyperinflation.

Recently, Nigeria was rated the poverty capital of the world, overtaking India. Yet, when one hears members of the APC denigrating the PDP today, one would think that they have done something superlative.
