I Never Said APC Will Fix Electricity In Six Month… Fashola

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly promised that power supply problems will be resolved within six months, but Works and Housing Minister Babatunde Fashola has refuted this claim.

According to several sources, Fashola allegedly pledged during the run-up to the 2015 general elections that the APC would resolve Nigeria’s power crisis if Nigerians choose the party to rule. If the pledge was broken, the claims said, Fashola allegedly asked Nigerians to “stone” him.

Fashola, however, refuted the report in a new interview with Channels TV on Monday, February 6, saying it was a fabrication he had allowed to circulate for a while.

“One of the things that were said about me was that I said we would electrify Nigeria in six months. It was a lie that I allowed to run until the day I asked my media men to play the tape back and since then that lie has gone”

The minister said he could not have made the comment since the tone did not align with his personality.

“I know that in the way I speak, I don?t use words like stone. I am not even a violent person.”

“Stone is violence. I don’t use those kinds of words. They are not part of my vocabulary”
