Tinubu makes more promise on electricity during campaign

President Bola Tinubu has renewed his pledge to improve Nigeria’s electricity supply and lower the cost of living, telling supporters at a campaign rally in Jigawa State that the existing privatisation model was not working.

Tinubu spoke on Tuesday at an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally, amid concerns over unreliable electricity supply across the country.

“We will lower the cost of living. We will provide reliable power, not the old privatisation that is not working. We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” he said.

The pledge echoes a promise Tinubu made during his 2023 presidential campaign. At the time he said if does not provide stable power for Nigerians in his first term, he shouldn't be re-elected.
