Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in  Lagos state made the appeal in a message he shaared on his Facebook page on Sunday.

According to him, the high cost of electricity tariff currently being paid in the country by individuals and companies is capable of destroying businesses.

He urged Tinubu to use his powers as president to bring the cost of electricity down so that businesses can thrive.

Igbokwe, in the post, lamented that N20,000 worth of units only lasted him for just a day, praying Tinubu to “review” the tariff in the interest of Nigerians.

He said: “PBAT, please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about about 7 units of AC.

“We used to buy 300 plus units for N20,0000. Yesterday we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this”.

The Adebayo Adelabu-led Ministry of Power has come under attack from not a few Nigerians for increasing electricity tariff in the country by over 200 percent of the cost being paid before he came into office.
