The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP) for the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has said he will declare war on the power sector and dismantle the structure of Criminality if the elected president comes next month’s February election.
Obi stated this on Monday while speaking at the Chatham House in the United Kingdom.
He said, “You have heard them say we don’t have structure, that structure is the one that has dismantled Nigeria. We will destroy that structure of criminality, I assure you of it.
“We’re going to turn around the power sector. Nigeria today generates 56,000 megawatts for 200 million people and South Africa, the second biggest in terms of the economy on the continent, with 60 million people, generates over 40,000 megawatts, yet, they have declared an emergency in the power sector.

“I have said that anyone can generate up to 100,000 megawatts with our licence.”
“If a country with a 60 million population generating over 40,000MW is declaring an emergency on power, what do you think somebody with two million people generating 5,000 to 6,000MW will do? War!
“I am going to declare war on power and I will solve it. Anybody who stands on the way, so be it.”
