Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, has reassured that the power supply to the 17 northern states experiencing a blackout due to the recent vandalization of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line will soon be restored.

He gave this update after meeting with President Bola Tinubu, expressing confidence that power would be back within the next five days.

Adelabu explained that the President has directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) and other security agencies to ensure adequate protection for the repair teams.

With full security in place, workers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), alongside contractors, will feel secure enough to head to the site and carry out repairs without disruption.

He acknowledged the impact of the blackout on communities in the north, describing it as a shared concern.

Addressing the region directly, he urged patience and understanding, assuring citizens that electricity would soon return.

Adelabu also emphasized the need for collective effort in safeguarding the national grid, noting that it’s critical for long-term stability and avoiding future incidents.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained the reason behind the formation of the new opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC). According to Atiku, the coalition was created to defend Nigeria’s democracy from what he sees as growing authoritarian tendencies and the manipulation of elections under the current ruling party.

He emphasized that the alliance is not about political heavyweights like himself, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or Nasir El-Rufai battling for the 2027 presidency, but about safeguarding the country’s democratic future.

Atiku made it clear that the movement isn’t aimed at attacking President Tinubu, but rather focused on putting Nigeria first. “This isn’t about fighting Tinubu,” he said. “It’s about protecting democracy and making sure Nigerians come first.”
