Peter Obi Urges the Government to Take Action on Nigeria’s Power Grid Failures
Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, took to his X handle to express his frustration over the ongoing collapse of Nigeria’s national grid.
In a recent post, he mentioned the recurrence of grid failures, with the latest collapse occurring just 11 days into the new year.
Last year, Nigerians experienced similar setbacks as the national grid failed approximately 12 times, causing significant hardship for households and businesses.
Obi pointed out the cost of Nigeria’s power crisis, revealing that over $3.23 billion had been borrowed over the past four years to address the country’s electricity challenges.
Despite this, the nation struggles to produce more than 4,500 megawatts of power, falling far short of the energy needs of its growing population.
The repeated grid failures are a stark reminder of the lack of progress in the power sector.
Obi questioned where the borrowed funds for the sector had been allocated, pointing to a lack of sincere commitment by Nigerian leaders to address the nation’s pressing issues.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
