Tinubu Not Against The North, All Nigerians Voted For Him – Adelabu Tells Kano State Governor

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, declared on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu is not against the northern region of the country or any other region.

He discarded reports in certain quarters claiming President Tinubu is discriminating against the northern region in particular.

Adelabu, who spoke during a courtesy call to the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, said all Nigerians voted for Tinubu, hence no reason for discrimination.

Speaking against the recent blackout, which affected some states in the north, the Power Minister emphasized that what happened was not intentional and that repair works are almost complete.

“The situation is worrisome and unfortunate. The President does not intend to discriminate against any region. We all voted him as Nigerians, and he has all of us at heart.

“What happened about the power outage in the past days was not deliberate but unfortunate; it is not a situation we want to repeat itself. If at all it will happen again, we need to have a permanent solution to it,” he stated.

Adelabu further revealed that he was in Kano on a working visit to physically inspect the power installations and other infrastructure in the region, and to interact with the state government on the way forward.

He also called on the Kano State government to partner with the Ministry of Power to invest in power generation and distribution, noting that the federal government has decentralized the power sector and some states are already embracing the initiative.

“There is need to partner with us in generation and distribution. The federal government is ready to collaborate as there are a lot of projects left uncompleted that can lead to a lot of losses,” he stated.

The Kano State Governor, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Bala Sagagi, assured the minister that the Kano State government will look into ways to invest in the sector and also to make budgetary provisions towards subsidizing electricity consumption.
