Insecurity, Power Supply and the Need for Responsible Leadership in Nigeria

Nigeria is facing one of the most challenging periods in its history, with insecurity and an unreliable power supply continuing to undermine the nation's economic growth, social stability and the well-being of its citizens.

The persistent wave of kidnappings, killings, banditry and other violent crimes across different parts of the country has left many Nigerians living in fear. Families are unable to travel freely, farmers are abandoning their farms, businesses are suffering losses and communities are being devastated by criminal activities. Every government has a constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of its citizens, and many Nigerians believe that the current administration has not met public expectations in this regard.

There is also widespread concern about the state of electricity supply. Before the 2023 presidential election, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu publicly stated that if he failed to improve electricity in the country, Nigerians should not vote for him again. As the nation continues to grapple with frequent power outages and inadequate electricity generation and distribution, many citizens are questioning whether that promise has been fulfilled.

The combination of worsening insecurity and poor power infrastructure has placed enormous pressure on households and businesses. Manufacturers are struggling with high operating costs, small businesses are closing, unemployment remains a challenge, and ordinary Nigerians continue to bear the burden of economic hardship.

Democracy provides citizens with the opportunity to hold leaders accountable through the ballot box. Nigerians should therefore actively participate in the democratic process by obtaining and safeguarding their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and exercising their constitutional right to vote peacefully during elections.

The future of the country depends on informed choices made by the electorate. Citizens should evaluate candidates based on their competence, integrity, track record and ability to address the nation's pressing challenges rather than on ethnicity, religion or political patronage.

Nigeria deserves leadership that can effectively tackle insecurity, deliver stable electricity, strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life for all. The responsibility of choosing such leadership ultimately rests with the people.

Why Nigerians Must Vote For Competence in 2027.

The primary responsibility of any government is the protection of lives and property. It is the foundation upon which every other aspect of governance rests. Without security, economic development becomes difficult, investments decline, businesses struggle, and citizens live in constant fear.

As Nigeria moves closer to the 2027 general elections, many citizens are questioning whether the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lived up to this fundamental responsibility. Across different parts of the country, incidents of kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, armed robbery and violent attacks have continued to dominate national discourse, leaving countless families in grief and communities in distress.

From the North to the South, stories of schoolchildren, commuters, farmers and ordinary citizens being abducted or killed have become disturbingly frequent. The fear of travelling on major highways, cultivating farmlands or even carrying out daily activities has become a reality for many Nigerians.

For many observers, this raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the current administration's security strategy. While security agencies have recorded successes in some operations, many Nigerians believe these efforts have not translated into the level of safety they expected when President Tinubu assumed office.

Beyond insecurity, the country's electricity sector remains another major source of concern. During the 2023 election campaign, President Tinubu made public commitments regarding improving power supply and urged Nigerians to hold him accountable for his performance. Yet millions of homes and businesses continue to struggle with erratic electricity, forcing many to depend on expensive generators and alternative energy sources.

The combined effect of insecurity and inadequate power supply has deepened economic hardship. Investors remain cautious, local businesses face rising operational costs, unemployment persists and inflation continues to erode the purchasing power of ordinary citizens.

Democracy offers citizens the opportunity to assess the performance of elected leaders and make choices based on results. Elections are the constitutional mechanism through which governments are rewarded or replaced.

For Nigerians who believe the current administration has failed to provide adequate security, improve electricity supply and effectively address the nation's pressing challenges, the 2027 election presents an opportunity to express that judgment through the ballot box.

Citizens should therefore ensure they possess valid Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), participate peacefully in the electoral process and vote according to their convictions and assessment of each candidate's competence, vision and record.

Ultimately, the future of Nigeria depends not only on those who seek public office but also on the willingness of voters to demand accountability and support leaders they believe can better protect lives, strengthen the economy and fulfil the aspirations of the Nigerian people.

Borno is losing ground to Boko Haram-Gov Zulum
Bandits have taken over 64 communities in Plateau-Gov Muftwang.
Very disturbing news. Nigeria, which way out?

*March 20, 2025*

*His Excellency,*
Governor Abiodun Oyebanji
Executive Governor,
Ekiti State.

*His Excellency,*

*OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR BIODUN OYEBANJI ON THE PERSISTENT WATER CRISIS IN IKUN-EKITI, HOST COMMUNITY OF ERO DAM*

I would like to commend you for the remarkable strides you have made since assuming office as the Executive Governor of Ekiti State. Your leadership has ushered in significant development, and we deeply appreciate your commitment to the progress and welfare of the people.

May God continue to grant you wisdom and strength to sustain these achievements, which, we believe, will further solidify the confidence of the people as you seek re-election in 2026.

However, I wish to draw your attention to some critical issues affecting the people of Ikun-Ekiti, my hometown.

*1. The Urgent Need for Water Supply in Ikun-Ekiti*

For the past two years, residents of Ikun-Ekiti have suffered from severe water scarcity for reasons unknown to the community. It is deeply concerning that despite being the host town of the Ero Dam—one of the largest water supply sources in the state—Ikun-Ekiti has not had access to a single drop of water for an extended period. Instead of being a blessing, the dam has, regrettably, not served its immediate host community. This has led to severe hardship, forcing residents to rely on rivers or purchase water at high costs for their daily needs.

To alleviate this challenge, we humbly request that the state government establish a dedicated water reservoir within Ikun-Ekiti that will be regularly supplied by the Ero Dam. This would provide sustainable relief to the community and fulfill the dam’s intended purpose of providing accessible water to the people.

*2. Strengthening the Ikun-Ekiti Dairy Farm for Economic Growth*

Additionally, I wish to highlight the importance of the Ikun-Ekiti Dairy Farm, which operates in partnership with Promasidor, a Lagos-based company, supplying fresh cow milk for dairy production.

While we appreciate your recent visit to Promasidor’s facility in Oshodi, Lagos, we strongly urge you to visit the dairy farm in Ikun-Ekiti as well. A firsthand assessment of its operations would enable you to identify ways in which the state government can further support and enhance its productivity. With proper supervision and investment, the farm has the potential to contribute significantly to job creation, food security, and the overall economic advancement of Ekiti State.

Furthermore, ensuring the effective management of both the **Ero Dam** and the **Ikun Dairy Farm** will not only improve the standard of living for residents but also drive economic development by positioning Ekiti State as a hub for agricultural and industrial growth.

As a listening governor and a father to all in Ekiti State, we trust that you will accord these matters the urgent attention they deserve.

Thank you for your time, understanding, and anticipated swift action.

*Yours faithfully,*

*Olabode Ajayi*

By May 29th, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will have been in office for two years. Some argue that two years is not enough to measure his performance, while others believe that two years is more than enough to deliver the dividends of democracy to Nigerians. Today, we focus on the power sector; share your thoughts, and rate his performance in improving the nation’s power supply.

I wish you and your family a year filled with possibilities, good health, and prosperity. Happy New Year! From all of us in Top Elegance International Magazine and TV. Olabode Ajayi, Publisher/CEO
