Reno Omokri, a political analyst and media personality, has stated that providing 24-hour electricity for the country would be an impossible task for any Nigerian president.
The job, according to the former presidential aide, can only be done by the private sector.
Omokri urged citizens to support the elimination of subsidies and total privatization of the power sector.
He contended that the government should not be involved in any business.
Speaking via Instagram, he wrote;
No matter who won the #NigerianElections2023, no President can give Nigeria 24 hours of uninterrupted power. Why? Because that is not a job for the government. Only the private sector can achieve that. As Nigerians, we must support fuel subsidy removal AND the complete privatization of the power sector. Even the Nigerian Railway Corporation should be sold. And ALL our airports.
Government has no business being in business. Whether it is the business of oil and gas, power, aviation, ports or railways
We must wean ourselves off this military command system where everything is controlled from Dodan Barracks or Aso Rock. If we don’t, we will never fully enter the Twenty-First Century.
