Even under the military regime, the military head of state adhered to court orders. I wonder why President Buhari finds it difficult to release Omoyele Sowore and General Dasuki, after Court had ordered their release. - Femi Falana

It is appalling that billions of Naira, Dollars have been sunk into the power/electricity sector.
However, the more the money spent, the greater the darkness generated in Nigeria.

It is appalling that we keep flaring gas in Nigeria.
The gas we flare is sufficient to power the entire country for ten years without interruption. -@SheriffQuadry

Estimated billing by PHCN is illegal.
We need to explore Solar as an alternative to power generation.
Senegal does not produce gas, but every home has gas. Hence, the need to hold our government to account. - Femi Falana, SAN

Let the mindset of the people be reformed. - @sirdee_da #FromDarknessToDarkness

"What will facilitate a major national conversation is collating precise information, details of victims of lack of stable supply of power." – @AyoBankole
