He lamented that even the president of South Africa, which produces 50,000 megawatts of electricity, had just declared a state of emergency in the sector for being too little but Nigeria, which produces a paltry 4,000 megawatts for over 200 million people, has not.

“I will increase power generation in four years. This is not a guarantee. I am saying if I don’t do it, I will leave the office,” Obi said.

The former governor of Anambra state condemned the fact that no one was held accountable, insisting that when they entered office, they reneged on what they had promised, claiming they didn’t know what it entailed.
