Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has once again condemned the collapse of Nigeria’s national power grid, describing it as a clear indication of leadership failure and poor policy implementation. His remarks followed the latest grid failure, which left significant parts of the country without electricity. He said, “For the umpteenth time, the national grid has collapsed, plunging a huge part of the nation into darkness and exposing the fragility of Nigeria’s power infrastructure. “Today, we are the fourth largest economy in Africa, having fallen from the number one position due to leadership failure over the years, including the persistent power crisis. “The disparity in power generation is a reflection of the deep-rooted governance deficit that continues to hold back our growth and potential,” he added.
