Atiku Reacts To Blackouts In Nigeria As National Grid Collapse Again

While some parts of the country enjoy a fair supply, others have been thrown into blackouts for weeks even before the grid collapse. Electricity companies announced in a statement that the collapse occurred on Sunday evening just before 7 pm.

Naijaloaded understands that the latest collapse makes it the sixth time the country’s national grid will experience a collapse in 2022.

Reacting to the development in a Twitter post, Atiku puts the blame on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

Atiku bemoaned the situation and described it as a metaphor for the collapsing state of the nation.

The presidential hopeful listed many issues under the APC-led government including the collapse of unity, security, economy, education, well-being and value of human life and dignity.

Atiku admonished Nigerians to likewise collapse the ruling APC via the ballot in the 2023 general elections.

He tweeted:

“The darkness that has enveloped the nation in the last couple of days with the collapse of the national grid is a metaphor for the collapsing state of our nation: collapsing unity, collapsing security, collapsing economy, collapsing education, collapsing well-being and collapsing value of human life and dignity.

“My expectation is that Nigerians will collapse the ruling APC in kind via the ballot and enthrone a viable pathway for the New Nigeria of our dreams that will be united and stable, prosperous and awash with opportunities; secured and inclusive. As One, we can get it done.”
