Nigeria’s Minister Of Power, Bayo Adelabu Lands In Fresh Crisis

TRIXX NG reports that Nigeria’s minister of power, Bayo Adelabu has landed in a fresh crisis following his recent comments about the usage of electricity in Nigeria.

Bayo Adelabu, who has been described as the Minister of darkness due to the epileptic power supply experienced across the country, was heard speaking about the management culture of Nigerians while trying to justify the recent increment in electricity tariffs.

Bayo Adelabu stated that Nigerians leave their freezers and AC on for days because they are not paying enough for the power they consume.

“We don’t have consumption management in this country. Some people leave their AC and freezers on for days because we are not paying enough for the power”

This statement was surprising to Nigerians as many posited that freezers are not meant to be out of power because they preserve food items. They further described the minister as the worst of the president’s appointees because he has failed woefully in his position and since he emerged has not done any significant reform in the power sector.

There's a reason why Bayo Adelabu has tried in vain to be Governor in Oyo State.

Now, the whole world can see the content of his brain…

I'm not capping, this Bayo Adelabu guy is worst ever minister of power Nigeria has ever had. He is just saying gibberish here, or better still, I'd say he is saying sour nonsense, not any bitter truth like he opined. Oyo State dodged a bullet by ditching him for Seyi Makinde in… pic.twitter.com/GiJDYbgt3m

I am sure, this man will watch this again and wouldn’t believe he’s the one that said this.
Egbon, @BayoAdelabu, I am sure you were not conscious of everything you said here, if you were, it simply means you have the mentality of a slave master.

We wasted billions of dollars on our power sector when the solution is simple and straight forward. “Turn Off your freezer”
Thank you Bayo Adelabu aka Mr Einstein

Ogbeni Bayo Adelabu.

I cannot believe the annoying nonsense I’m hearing from @BayoAdelabu at his Ministerial Briefing on Power.
So, once the items in a freezer are frozen, we should switch the freezer off?!?
Does he have any idea at all how freezers work?
No wonder the audience started murmuring!

Even with erratic power supply, expecting Nigerians to turn off their freezers while loaded with food is unrealistic. Minister of Power, Mr. Bayo Adelabu, fix the electricity issue instead of making excuses.

Throughout my lifetime, I have never seen a Yoruba man as clueless and useless as Bayo Adelabu, the minister of power. Yorubas are known for their intelligence and smartness, but that man disgraced the entire tribe. so sad!
