“Power Will Be Back in the North Within Five Days” – Adelabu Assures Residents
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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
