Flowerbudnews: Social Commentator, Reno Omokri has criticised Former Governor Peter Obi, accusing him of spreading false information to Nigerians.
Omokri Wrote on his X handle:
Dear Peter Obi,
This is either dishonesty or ignorance. You should get proper information before you undermine Nigeria in favour of Tanzania. I have been to Tanzania multiple times, and I am familiar with their power industry.
What happened was not that Tanzania shut down her dams because they had more than enough electricity to power their entire nation.
The fact is that due to heavy rains, their hydroelectric dams were producing very high voltage that could damage their national power grid, because demand to the cities they supply to is low, and they had nowhere to shed the power to. Therefore, to protect their infrastructure, they had to shut down these dams temporarily.
Tanzania’s electricity supply is known in East Africa for increasing during the rainy season and drastically reducing during the dry season.
The same thing had happened in Nigeria in the past. The technical name for this process is Load Shedding.
Please fact-check me. Tanzania still faces acute power shortages nationwide. Just two months ago, their government complained about power shortages, and they had to ration power.
Please stop spreading fake news to Nigerians.
Peter, I understand that you are desperate to be President in 2027, but please, do not undermine Nigeria’s national interest because of your desperation for power. (Flowerbudnews)
