BREAKING: Tinubu in Jos Confirms Peter Obi’s Warning on Power Crisis

Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to stop incompetent leaders who lack compassion and prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the masses.

Naija News reports that Peter Obi made this statement in a post on his handle, while reacting to President Bola Tinubu’s complaint about the lack of electricity at the Jos airport during a recent visit to Plateau State.

Peter Obi asserted that Tinubu’s statement confirms his past electoral promise that Nigerians should not support his re-election if he fails to provide electricity during his first tenure.

The former Governor of Anambra State emphasised that Tinubu displayed disregard for promises and a lack of trust, remarking that the reason for his 10-minute stay during his visit to Jos was that the airport had no electricity.

“During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.”

“When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans.

“In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it.

“Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders those lacking the capacity and compassion who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises.”
