Ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s anticipated cabinet reshuffle, social critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has called for the removal of the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu. This comes after Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, announced that changes within the cabinet are imminent.
VDM, in a video posted on Facebook, urged the president to retain ministers who are performing well. However, he singled out the Minister of Power for removal, citing the division of power supply into Band A, Band B, and Band C as problematic. VDM criticized the policy, which allows some Nigerians to enjoy 20 hours of electricity daily, while others experience far less.
He questioned the fairness of the system, stating, “Are you trying to say that poor people do not have access to light? Is it that the poor people are not supposed to use light for 24 hours? It makes no sense because we are all Nigerians.” VDM emphasized the need for equal access to electricity for all citizens.
