Minister of Power under fire over blackout in Northeast
More voices have joined the call for the resignation of the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu following the persistent power outage in the Northeast geo-political zone of the country.
The most recent of such calls is a legal luminary from Taraba State Bilyaminu Maihanchi, who in an open letter on Sunday, publicly demanded the immediate resignation of the Minister for allegedly failing to restore power to the Northeast region.
States in the northeast including Taraba, have been plunged into darkness for the past three weeks following the alleged vandalization of electricity equipment belonging to the Yola Electricity Distribution Company, YEDC,
Citing an ongoing failure to restore consistent electricity in the region, the lawyer, in his open letter, demanded that the minister, as a matter of urgency, vacate his office to give room for someone else to perform.
Highlighting the severe impact that the lack of power has had on the economic growth, healthcare services, education, and general quality of life in the region, accusing the minister of neglecting his duties and failing to provide the basic necessities for the people.
“The people of the Northeast have suffered for far too long without access to reliable electricity, hindering economic development, healthcare, education, and overall well-being.”
Maihanchi called for accountability, suggesting that the minister’s resignation could pave the way for more effective leadership.
He said his demand for the Minister’s resignation underscores a growing sentiment that change is needed at the highest levels of the power sector to address these challenges.
