TINUBU NEVER ASKED NIGERIANS TO REJECT HIM OVER POWER SUPPLY, AIDE CLARIFIES

A presidential aide has dismissed reports suggesting that President Bola Tinubu told Nigerians to reject him if his administration fails to improve electricity supply.

The aide described the claim as a misrepresentation of the President’s remarks, insisting that Tinubu did not make any statement urging citizens to reject him over power sector challenges.

According to the presidential spokesman, the President's comments were taken out of context, leading to widespread misunderstanding and inaccurate interpretations.

He explained that the administration remains committed to addressing longstanding issues in the power sector through ongoing reforms, investments, and infrastructure improvements.

The aide noted that efforts are being made to increase electricity generation, strengthen transmission networks, and improve distribution across the country.

He also urged the public to rely on verified information and official government communications when interpreting statements attributed to the President.

Political observers say the clarification comes amid heightened public interest in electricity reforms and expectations for improved power supply nationwide.

The presidency reiterated its commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to Nigeria’s energy challenges as part of broader economic development goals.
