Kanu calls on the governors in the South East to cancel all Power contracts
with Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) for being an impediment to
the development of the Region.
EEDC has proven to be incapable of providing reliable,
adequate, and affordable electricity to support economic stimulation and growth
of the South East. The company is just extorting money from the people of the
South East without providing reliable electricity.
The South East Governors should leverage the electricity
deregulation policy of Tinubu's government and engage other local or foreign
electricity generation and distribution companies to take the place of the
incompetent company called EEDC. The current electricity deregulation policy of
the Federal Government of Nigeria has given powers to the State Government to
generate and distribute power to their state. Therefore, South East Governors
must not subject the Eastern Region to darkness in order to please the
insatiablly creedy company called EEDC and its owner. Electricity is a catalyst
for economic development and growth, which Ndigbo must not be denied at a time
like this.
South East Governors have no excuse for not providing
reliable and efficient electricity in their States. The time of giving excuses
with the monopoly of NEPA, PHCN, or EEDC is over. Now, the Federal Government
Electricity deregulation has given them the power to hire and fire any
electricity company in their state. Eastern region governors can come together and
partner with a reputable power company that can provide steady and affordable
electricity for the entire region.
The governors must ensure that there is adequate electricity
in the region without further delay.
Our attention has been drawn to the unconfirmed letter
written to the South East governors, universities, institutions, companies and
communities by EEDC to these people and groups mentioned above to come and pay
what they did not consume and failure to do so EEDC will shut off their lights.
We beg EEDC to jettison such idea because we don't want to use force on them
and if they want to test the power IPOB possesses, we will let them taste the venom. If they venture to
cut any lights in the South East this time around, we will react because we
have endured enough. The citizens of the South East are charged to deal with
anyone seen as EEDC representatives anywhere in our land who try to shut off
people's lights. They must be lynched and they must call any IPOB office close
to you with the information.
EEDC is a big disappointment to the people of the South East
Region. They are not showing any sign of repentance or improvement in the
electricity distribution, and they failed to provide prepaid meters across the
South East Region. Their extortion and incompetency should not be endured any
longer. IPOB wants the governors not to allow EEDC to use another company to
come back and deceive them, and try to
take another contract because EEDC has failed and cannot handle the electricity
distribution in the South East Region. PERIOD!
IPOB wants the governors to take responsibility for
providing steady light in the South East Region. The development and progress
of the South East is dependent on these conditions. They should stop every unnecessary excuse.
IPOB and Ndigbo, in general, have lost confidence in EEDC. Our people must be
prepared to chase EEDC out of the region. IPOB is not backing down on plans of
ejecting the rogue company called EEDC from the region.
The South Eastern Governors must wake up and demonstrate
their willingness to drive economic development of the East via the provision
of steady and affordable electricity by canceling all power deals with
incompetent and extortionist- Enugu Electricity Distribution Company - EEDC.
