The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has commented on the recent collapse of the national power grid.
Recall that Agnesisika Blog previously reported that the national power grid collapsed for the 6th time this year.
The electricity generating facility, which collapsed at exactly 11:27 a.m. on Wednesday, left many in darkness and the former governor of Anambra state has condemned the incident, stating that it is “a compelling catalyst for leadership change.”
Obi also spoke on the bread bakers‘ ongoing nationwide strike, resulting due to the rising cost of baking materials, also previously reported by Agnesisika Blog
Peter Obi wrote on his Twitter, “Reports that the national power grid has collapsed for the 6th time in 7 months is alarming. Once again, many Nigerians have been left grope around in darkness without electricity.
“Such negative parameters are not only benchmarks for governance failure but a compelling catalyst for leadership change.
“Moreover, in a nation where many go the bed hungry, and national bakers going on strike is indicative of the high-stress level in both the productive realm of our economy and quality of life.
“Also, for bread, one of the basic and affordable daily sustenance of the average Nigerian to become unavailable translates to a national crisis.
“Government must live up to its statutory responsibilities to avert socio-economic incidents that induce extreme shock and stress on the national population.”
