The news went viral and raised mixed reactions from Nigerians, with many of them praising Adedeji Adeleke. However, online critic Daniel Regha had a different take.

According to Regha, Davido’s dad does not need to be applauded because Nigerians pay for the electricity. He added that the billionaire should only be praised if he isn’t making any money from it.

He wrote:

“The 15% generated electric power being consumed by Nigeria, is it for free? Are Nigerians not paying for it one way or the other? Unless Davido's dad is making zero profit from this, there's no reason for the applause cos at the end of the day, it's business. If we had good leaders, this willn't be a topic of discussion to start with.”
