Just In: Peter Obi Vows To Declare War, States Reason

Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has stated he would declare war on the country’s electricity industry if elected as Nigeria’s next president.

The Eagle reports that the LP’s flagbearer said this today while speaking at the Chatham House in the United Kingdom (UK).

He said “you have heard them say we don’t have structure, that structure is the one that has dismantled Nigeria. We will destroy that structure of criminality, I assure you of it.

“We’re going to turn around the power sector. Nigeria today generates 56,000 megawatts for 200 million people and South Africa, the second biggest in terms of economy on the continent, 60 million people, generates over 40,000 mega watts, yet, they have declared an emergency in the power sector.

“I have said it that anyone can generate up to 100,000 megawatts with our licence.”

He added “If a country with 60 million population generating over 40,000MW is declaring emergency on power, what do you think somebody with two million people generating 5,000 to 6,000MW will do? War!

“I am going to declare war on power and I will solve it. Anybody who stands in the way, so be it.”

Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate, are in the UK to further discuss their plans for Nigeria should they be elected to replace the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
