States will generate, distribute electricity if I'm elected President - Makinde

The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Seyi Makinde has said states will generate and distribute their own electricity under his administration.

Makinde said this on Wednesday while unveiling his Reset Nigeria Manifesto at the Congress Hall, Transcorp Hotels and Suites, Abuja.

According to him, the current system where everything is controlled from the centre is not working. He said if Nigeria wants to develop, states must be allowed to produce power and give it to their people.

“States will generate, distribute their own electricity,” Makinde declared.

The Oyo State governor further stated that his Reset Nigeria Agenda will reset the economy by fixing the power problem, stressing that no economy can grow when businesses are closing by 8pm because there is no light and insecurity.

Makinde said his plan is to reduce the cost of doing business and cost of living, and fixing electricity is number one.

He said he will run a transitional government of national unity that will restructure the country so that states can control their resources.
