Nigerians Seek Minister Adelabu’s Resignation Amid Poor Power Supply Concerns

Some concern Nigerians following the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on his official X account, have expressed disappointment and are seeking his resignation concerning the issue of the worsening power supply in the country under his watch.

After the threats by the federal government through the Minister to revoke the licenses of power distribution companies (DisCos) over poor power supply, Nigerians in their responses requested the Minister’s resignation and told him to redirect his effort on ensuring the DisCos meter their customers.

Reacting to this, a Nigerian on X, Rotimi Adeosun said “Hon. Minister, this is like biting more than one can chew. Rather than unproductive meetings, threats, and lamentations; (re)direct your efforts on the low-hanging fruit by ensuring DISCOs meter their customers. Metering would have multiplier effects across the power supply chain”.

While some Nigerians shared ideas on what to be done to improve power supply in the country, others urged the minister to resign.

@n6oflife6 said, “RESIGN AND GO. You have Failed in this Sector. Tender your resignation and leave with whatever dignity you have left. This Power sector has exposed you as Incompetent; b4 it Damages your Entire political Career the More life it did BRF. All this Shalaye Ko Necessary.”

@dipoaina1 said, “Everybody is complaining about power outages, including the minister of power”.

@kelOnovo said, “Since you took over as the minister of power, we have never had it this bad. Since I was born, I have never experienced this. There is no excuse for this. You simply don’t know this job well enough. If you knew you couldn’t do it, you should have just stepped down and let someone who knows how to do the job take over”.

@abiolablackdiva said, “You took us 15 years back. Light has become an august visitor since you became the minister of power.
