“2027: Power Minister Adelabu May Exit Without Achieving 6000MW Target!”
Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, is set to resign from President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet without meeting his 6,000-megawatt electricity supply target. According to reports, President Tinubu recently directed all ministers, aides, and political appointees seeking elective positions in the 2027 general election to resign by March 31, 2026, in compliance with the newly signed Electoral Act.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Adelabu, who has publicly declared his intention to contest the Oyo State governorship, is expected to step down before the deadline. A source within the Ministry of Power confirmed that Adelabu is preparing to exit, with his immediate focus on the 2027 governorship race.
The source also noted that several candidates are already competing to succeed him, but emphasized that the incoming minister will face significant challenges given the ongoing crisis in the country’s power sector.
Adelabu’s departure comes as the national electricity supply remains well below his target, with the latest figures showing the national grid delivering 3,331 megawatts to distribution companies. Nigerians have continued to experience frequent blackouts and inconsistent power supply, partly due to gas shortages and systemic challenges. In recent days, several gas plants were shut down over lingering sector debts exceeding N6.8 trillion, further constraining power generation.
Despite a prior target of achieving 6,000 megawatts, Adelabu will leave office without reaching this milestone, highlighting the persistent difficulties facing Nigeria’s electricity sector.

Political strategist and CEO of Global Investment and Trade Company, Baba Yusuf, has warned that worsening insecurity in Nigeria could reach a point where bandits may eventually find their way into the National Assembly.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking in an interview on Arise News, Yusuf said the situation has degenerated to the extent that people in parts of the North now pay “taxes” to armed groups and even seek their intervention in local disputes.
He lamented that while attacks continue to claim lives across several states, both government and opposition figures are politicising the crisis instead of finding lasting solutions.
Yusuf pointed to repeated attacks even after official assurances, arguing that criminal groups are increasingly emboldened and openly challenge state authority, including issuing warnings before carrying out attacks.
He further claimed that in some cases, armed groups operate with little fear of consequences, while public trust in state protection continues to weaken.
According to him, the growing influence and acceptance of such groups in some communities is a dangerous trend that could worsen if not urgently addressed.
He warned that failure to tackle insecurity decisively could lead to a situation where criminal elements gain even more legitimacy within society and political structures.
