A social media clash has erupted between Nigerian commentator Daniel Regha and activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju following remarks about the country’s electricity situation.
The disagreement began after Adeyanju appeared on the Honest Bunch Podcast, where he spoke about Nigerians’ expectations regarding power supply and the cost of electricity.
Reacting to the interview, Regha dismissed Adeyanju’s position, calling it inaccurate and disconnected from the realities faced by everyday Nigerians.
Regha said, “Deji Adeyanju is proof that some youths are no different from our present leaders. What a rubb’sh argument. Nigerians need 24/7 electricity 100%, and will be able to afford it if the govt made affordability possible.”
He added, “He’s talking about people needing light from 8pm to 7am for basic comfort, what about those who rely on electricity heavily to run their buinesses. A lot of products including food items are overly expensive due to high production cost, and electricity contributes to it.”
Regha went on to stress that access to electricity should be seen as a basic necessity rather than a luxury..
“In a serious country, electricity won’t be divided into bands and won’t be luxury, provision of light is a social amenity.”
He also took a swipe at Adeyanju, criticising him personally and stating that his remarks were disappointing, “This is coming from a supposed laywer, but no surprises; Someone that couldn’t even bail his client in times of trouble.”
