I will not tell Nigerians how I will generate 10,000MW of electricity. It’s not for them to know. They just have to believe me and vote for me — Peter Obi
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has insisted that Nigerians do not need to know how he plans to deliver 10,000 megawatts of electricity if elected president, saying they only need to trust him based on his track record.
Speaking during an interview with media personality Rufai Oseni, Obi was pressed to explain his promise to increase Nigeria’s power generation capacity to at least 10,000MW within four years.
When asked to provide a detailed roadmap, Obi declined, arguing that political leaders are often judged by their credibility rather than by publicly disclosing every aspect of their plans.
“No, no, no, I’m not going to tell you how. It is not for you to know how. It is for you to look at the man who is saying this,” Obi said.
The former Anambra governor maintained that he had a history of fulfilling promises while in office and reiterated his commitment to improving Nigeria’s electricity supply.
“I have said, and I repeat, that in four years we will generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity,” he stated.
As Rufai Oseni, the host, continued to demand specifics, Obi stood his ground, insisting that voters should focus on whether they trust him to deliver.
“They don’t need to know. They need to believe in me,” he said.
Obi also criticized successive governments over Nigeria’s power sector, claiming that no new government-owned power plant had been commissioned since 2015.
He contrasted Nigeria’s performance with countries such as Indonesia, India and Egypt, which he said significantly expanded their electricity generation capacity over the same period.
According to Obi, achieving higher power output is “not rocket science,” adding that he has studied successful models in other countries and understands what is required to replicate such progress in Nigeria.
“My commitment is that I will deliver it. I have my name on it,” he said.

@HonShield Very good question...
They haven't and they will not.
All victims of kidnapping need the rehabilitation more than the kidnappers and terrorists.

@mide_io They say something on the table and went for it. They spread their legs. In split seconds, they forgot they were married to someone already.

Until you date a generous and responsible woman, you will never understand how much women love spending on the man they love and being financially responsible to the family.
@ParallelFacts Forging under this administration or government shouldn't appear surprise to anyone. It is the norm.
For the suspension report to be FORGED by Senate President Akpabio, it means he is hiding something and the allegation against him was true.
Natasha should be free.

@VivianIfeomaOj Yes!

For me, let everyone carry their cross, and by their cross, I mean they should live with the terrible mistakes they have made in life.
I just feel this idea/thought/decision is a selfish w1cked one.
No man should accept that except otherwise he's impotent.

@novieverest No one especially from the Yoruba is accusing or criticizing this government or administration of their docile and incompetent approach to matters of insecurity and economy hardship in the country because they are all benefiting from it.
By their fruits or action we'd know.

Senegal players are not taking shots outside the box 18. That's the problem they have. I am positive, if they have been taking shots outside box 18 from first half, they would have scored.
Now, France has scored. Ismaila feels like taking shots now.

@KE_MrBlack Okay but this is false.
Going by your tweet, it means that those that didn't marry within their tribe don't know have peace in their marriage.... That's a lie.

@Waspapping_ The eyes of understanding for the northerners are still shut.
Many of the things happening around us negatively, from the political side down to the ordinary people is lack of understanding.
It is lack of understanding we are witnessing banditry and terrorism in the nation
