Activist lawyer Maduabuchi Idam on Tuesday expressed concern over President Bola Tinubu’s inability to sanction some of his cabinet members for poor performance.
Idam wondered why Tinubu has refused to sanction his Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and other cabinet members who have performed poorly.
In a statement he issued, Idam decried the persistent power crisis across the country.
According to Idam: “I’m bothered that President Tinubu is not worried about the performance of his Minister of Power.
“What exactly is Mr. President’s attraction to cabinet members whose performances are disapproved of by Nigerians?
“The consistent power crisis has continued to challenge the reason for the continued retention of the Minister of Power in President Tinubu’s cabinet.
“Rather than improve on the already unimpressive power supply in Nigeria, President Tinubu’s administration has dashed every hope in the area of power, especially with his present minister. It’s either a collapse of the national grid or erratic power supply without a reason.
“Assuming votes count in Nigeria, leaders would certainly be paying attention to the yearnings of citizens. Unfortunately, that is not the case, which is why they get away with poor performance.
“Coming across President Tinubu’s campaign videos promising to fix electricity issues within a few months has really got me wondering whether we should still hope that power will be fixed under his administration or if we should wait for the next.
“It’s either this administration is terrible, or the policies are. Something is really terrible in this administration.”
