Raji Fashola: Minister of Power, Housing and Works: Under bashing

Babatunde Raji Fashola, minister of power, works and housing has been the target of barbs by Nigerians suffering the effects of power failure.

Power generation that reached a peak of over 5,000 megawatts last month has dropped to below 1,600 megawatts, with telling effects in offices and homes.

Electricity supply in Nigeria has never been so awful than now, with many homes plunged into darkness for weeks.

Nigerians in Twittersphere have been attacking the man whose duty it is to ensure  that Nigerians enjoy uninterrupted power supply, 24/7. Here are some of the critical posts today:

Crazy, who did we offend? Why is Fashola d super minister so quiet, where's the outrage? Remember there's no fuel https://t.co/tX6TBIyRrw

I think Fashola should have been given one ministry to handle. Power in itself is the mainstay of a nation just like petroleum and agric.

Fashola, as a Govnr, in an attempt to display 'almighty', boasted he could provide stable light in 6months, as a power Min, light got worse

Fashola should have known earlier that with great powers, comes great responsibilities.

No light. The inverter is exhausted. I'm tempted to pick on Fashola. The 'epilepsy' of power supply now is very disheartening @tundefashola

Electricity needs critical attention, our roads & housing sector needs critical attention. Fashola can't be heading all at the same time.

Only one tweet was sympathetic to Fashola as at 11.08 a.m. All others rebuke the minister, saying he has failed to deliver.

So its Fashola that caused the hot weather nd holding power. Some of u really need to knw how power is being distributed in dis country
