Initially, following power outages in parts of Lagos on Saturday, Obi condemned the frequent grid failures, claiming they had occurred 12 times in 2024, causing significant setbacks for Nigerians.
He also highlighted the over $3.23 billion borrowed over the past four years to address electricity issues, despite continued grid collapses.
