Bolaji Abdullahi the spokesperson of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taken a swipe at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing his government of repeating an old power sector plan instead of fixing Nigeria’s electricity problems.
In a post shared on April 6, 2026, Abdullahi said the government’s latest move to approve three point three trillion naira for power sector debts is not new. He pointed to an earlier report by Punch Newspapers dated May 17, 2024, which announced the same amount and plan.
According to him, two years after the widely discussed airport incident in Plateau where there was no electricity during the president’s visit, the government is now presenting the same approval again. He described it as a cover up and questioned whether the president had forgotten the earlier decision or if the administration was pushing its messaging too far.
To support his claim, Abdullahi shared two images. One showed the 2024 news report with the headline about the approval of three point three trillion naira for power debts. The other image, from The Nation, highlighted a similar announcement in 2026 about settling the same amount as part of a power sector debt plan.
Abdullahi reacting to the renewed approval of three point three trillion naira for electricity debts, openly asked if the president move amounts to propaganda taken too far.
Despite these assurances, many Nigerians say electricity supply has not improved enough. Power cuts remain common, and several areas still receive limited hours of electricity daily.
