FFK SAYS MINISTER OF POWER, FASHOLA THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK has referred to the Minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola as “the prince of darkness”.
FFK was reacting to a statement reportedly made by the minister of power over the Nigeria’s lack of electricity and how it is not the responsibility of the federal government.
Fani-Kayode who made the reaction via his twitter handle, wrote;
Recall that Fashola had said that it was not the Federal government’s problem if some Nigerians do not have electricity.
He was quoted to have said, “There are problems without a doubt and we must deal with them. But let me remind you, all of the assets that the Ministry of Power used to control for power have been sold by the last administration before I came. And so if you don’t have power, it is not the government’s problem. Let us be honest. The people who are operating the power sector, generation and distribution are now privately owned companies.”
