Former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has attacked president Muhammedu Buhari led administration
The National leader of APC during a rally of South West youths on Saturday, said young Nigerians should not be blamed for being “lazy” while the country is faced with epileptic power supply.
President Muhammadu Buhari had some years back criticised the attitude of some Nigerian youths, saying they were only hustling to get on the gravy train.
“More than 60 per cent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil-producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free,”.
Buhari made the following remarks during a panel appearance with world leaders at the Commonwealth Business Forum in London.
Speaking on Saturday at a rally of South West youths, Tinubu indirectly replied the President, stating that no nation can witness “rapid development” without electricity.
He said the country is endowed with enough gas that can be used to generate electricity and even export to European countries.

He said, “We cannot continue with excuses on NEPA failure. No! No nation can make rapid development without electricity.
“Give us that, and if we cannot be successful, you can abuse us. You cannot give us erratic electricity that is undependable and then blame us again that we are lazy. No!
“Nigeria — it is about time. We have enough gas to fire up our electricity. We can supply the rest of Europe with gas, and we can make money from it.”
Meanwhile, the recent attack is coming as the party is set to hold it’s primaries in May.
Tinubu however is among the political gladiators scrambling to take over the leadership baton from president Muhammedu Buhari.
