The campaign poster in question
Above is an election campaign poster of President Muhammadu Buhari
and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo during the highly heated presidential
election in Nigeria last year, 2015.
The poster promises a 24-hour supply of electricity which has been a
historical challenge in Nigeria since the adoption of democracy in the
year 1999. Although this wasn't stated on the All Progressives
Congress's party manifesto in a verbatim form, Nigerians are currently
licking their wounds as a result of reduced power supply and a 45%
increment in electricity tariffs.
The power generation in the country currently stands at 1,400
Megawatts which is a far cry from the minimum of 25,000MW needed to
illuminate the 36 states in Nigeria with a population of over 170
million.
A top commenter on social media has this to say:
"On behalf of Me, Myself and I, I Felicitate with the Lying Liars on the occasion of their one year in office. Well done Sir!!
"Nigerians are thanking you for the light wey no blink since May 29th 2015!! More palm oyel to your elbows!!!
Up Change!!!"
Up Change!!!"
