The Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Dr. Peter Obi has lamented Nigeria’s epileptic electricity supply, saying it is a matter of deep concern.

Obi, in series of tweets on Thursday, said South Africa, with a population of 60 million generated over 50,000 megawatts of electricity, while Nigeria could only generate 4,000 megawatts.

“Nigeria’s epileptic electricity supply remains a matter of deep concern. Although South Africa, the second biggest economy on the continent has a population of over 60 million, and generates over 50,000 megawatts.

“Nigeria, the African giant with over 200 million people, generates a paltry 4000 megawatts, which is less than 10% of South Africa’s without declaring a power crisis or emergency.

“Nigerians should take a cue from global governance best practices; grasp what people-oriented leadership is all about and rise up for effective change,” he tweeted.
