“We have to open up like South Africa has done. They have power issues like us, even [though] they are 60 million and they are generating almost 40-something-thousand, they declared [a state of] emergency and said anybody can generate up to 100,000 megawatts without licence,” he said.
The Labour Party flag bearer said if elected president in February, his administration will generate and distribute no less than 20,000 megawatts within four years in office.
He, however, said he would try to exceed the target, Vanguard report added.
Why some APC, PDP members are supporting Peter Obi secretly, Isaac Balami spills
Foremost aircraft engineer and former spokesman of the Trade Union Congress, Comrade Isaac Balami has explained why most chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), have not moved to the Labour Party, LP, despite their support for the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
Balami, a former president of the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers and Deputy Campaign Manager 1 of the Obi-Datti Campaign Council, said most members of the PDP and APC who have consciences and are truthful to themselves about the events across the country have since joined the movement.
He said the only reason some of them have not announced openly their support for the obedient movement yet is that they either want to make money from politicians in order to cope with the current realities, or they are simply afraid to do so due to their relationship with some top politicians.
