The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the President Goodluck Jonathan administration as an agent of darkness.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by the state’s Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, News Rescue reports.
Berating the President Jonathan administration over incessant power failure in the country, the party said despite all the billions of naira sunk into the purported power reform programme and promises of improved power supply, the power situation in the country is even worse than ever.
The statement said: “Even for those connected, it does not make much difference since the Jonathan administration has only succeeded in perfecting the culture of epileptic power supply.
“All this go to show that the President Goodluck Jonathan administration is nothing but an agent of darkness. Nigerians, however, do not have to continue to wallow in darkness as they have a golden opportunity to vote out this agent of darkness during the 2015 elections and cast their vote for an APC Presidency, which will end this evil covenant with darkness and give Nigerians stable power supply as obtains in other progressive societies of the world.”
The party made reference to a new report by the international sustainable energy charity, Ashden, which showed that Nigeria has the highest number of citizens without electricity in Africa, thereby accounting for about 10 per cent of the total 1.3 billion people in Africa who are without electricity.
Poor power supply is one of the major problems of Nigeria and it is still in the process of being solved. In April 2014, the Federal Government said improvements in service delivery enabled significant growth to 4,000MW, as compared to the previous level of 3,000MW.
On August 29, 2014, the Federal Government of Nigeria made a highly-controversial statement, promising to ensure stable power supply by October this year.
