An old video of President Bola Tinubu promising constant electricity has resurfaced on the internet amid the epileptic power supply across the country.

DAILY POST reports that President Tinubu had during the presidential campaign tour in December 2022, declared that if elected, by all means necessary, Nigerians will have constant power supply.

In the video, the President declared that if his promise is not kept, Nigerians should not vote for him when he seeks re-election.

He said, “Whichever way, by all means necessary, you will have electricity, and you will not pay for estimated bill anymore. A promise made will be a promise kept.

“If I don’t keep the promise and I come for a second time, don’t vote for me. Unless I give you adequate reasons why I couldn’t deliver.”

The video began to resurface on Facebook and X following the power outage being experienced across the country.

DAILY POST reports that the Nigerian Independent System Operator, the grid manager, on Thursday last week said that electricity generation on the national grid fell to 3,940.53 megawatts as of 5:00 am, after several generating units shut down.

Business operators have been counting their losses as the price of fuel also continues to skyrocket.
