Fact Check: How True Is Tinubu’s Claim That Nigeria Does Not Have Lithium, Gas? by Heavens1stson: 9:33am On Jan 14, 2023
VERDICT

Multiple credible sources confirm that Nigeria is rich in lithium and natural gas. Therefore, Tinubu’s claims are false.

Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), said during his presidential campaign rally in Enugu state on January 11, that Nigeria does not have lithium or natural gas.

In an attempt to convince the people of Enugu, that coal, which is found in the state will be used to improve their lives and generate electricity, Tinubu said it is near-impossible to produce electric cars in Nigeria.

“Wake up Africa, let’s use what we have, let’s turn our charcoal to money, let’s turn our gas to money. They say crude oil, the price is falling, yes whatever it takes,” Tinubu said.

Almost immediately, he goes on to say Nigeria does not have lithium and gas.

“If you know the statistics of the world and you think you need over 200 million there about of electric vehicles, I don’t know if you can get 3 or 4 electric vehicles in Nigeria. Where are you going to get it from?

“Is it a country that has no Lithium, a country that there’s no gas, a country that cannot charge telephones not to talk of charge vehicles? Don’t deceive yourself.”

Is it true Nigeria does not have lithium and gas?

Our findings show Tinubu’s claim is false. Nigeria not only has lithium but high-grade Lithium in large quantities in states such as Kogi, Nasarawa, Ekiti, Kwara, Cross River, Oyo, and Plateau.

Abdulrazaq Garba, director-general of the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency in June 2022 also confirmed that Nigeria was indeed rich in lithium.

Bola Tinubu no get sense na. This is the man people want to shamelessly impose on the rest of us.

I am just trying to imagine this man presenting a speech at the UN and Donald Trump will be somewhere having a great laugh.

Tomorrow, Nigerians will start crying that white people don't have regards for black people, but they are the architect of their own problem.

Kikikiki... I laugh at those mumu praising him.
" he is a progressive ", " he is visionary " blablabla bula bubu.

Why do you think he patronizes touts?
Those ones can't question him.
He ensured no one can have access to the state expenditures.

Tinubu is always telling lies with brazen arrogance and impunity. Every thing about this man full of scam, fraud, deception, overt falsehood and criminality.

You guys don't get it. Tinubu is against anything that promotes clean energy. He's against COP27, he's against renewable energy, and he's against the fight to control climate change. His sponsors are oil companies and haters of green energy.
That's why he's going to fail big time.

Tinubus said "in a country where you can't charge your phone, you want to charge a car". This man is gloryfing lack of energy sef, so you are happy we don't have energy and you will make sure we won't have energy to charge electric cars. This man is just dull and some people wants this guy in Aso Rock..

You see how he shames himself trying to emulate Obi and instead dropping false statistics something he falsely accused Obi of. This is why it is good to go and verify as Obi says
