Tinubu: Nigerians Won’t Pay Estimated Billing For Electricity If I’m President by Racoon(m): 4:36am On Dec 23, 2022
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), says Nigerians will not have to deal with the challenge of multiple foreign exchange (FX) rates if he is elected president.

Tinubu spoke at luncheon with business owners titled ‘business forward’ on Thursday in Lagos.Currently, Nigeria operates two foreign exchange (FX) markets: one is the official central bank rate, while the other is at the parallel section also known as black market.

Although the parallel segment is more accessible to traders and businesses who need FX, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has consistently maintained that it represents less than one percent of forex transactions and should never be used to determine the exchange rate.

Speaking at the event, Tinubu said if he is elected, Nigerians would no longer pay estimated billing for electricity.Estimated billing is a type of electricity payment system whereby the distribution companies (DisCos) do the billing without the aid of any meter (postpaid or prepaid). This usually results in over-charging customers for power consumed.

“By all means, you must have electricity. And you won’t pay for estimated billing anymore. When I become president, multiple exchange rates will go away. Write it down,” he said.


"My discussion today is to inspire so that the promise of today can be a reality tomorrow. We promise you, we will bring prosperity to Nigeria.”

Speaking further, the presidential candidate promised to take bold decisions that will turn the economy around, including removing fuel subsidy, saying Nigeria will not continue to subsidise fuel consumption in neighbouring countries. He said he would convert challenges to opportunities for development.

“How can we be subsidising fuel consumption of Cameroon, of Niger, of Benin Republic. No matter how long you protest, we are going to remove subsidy. We can do it. We are educated enough,” Tinubu said.

The former Lagos governor also pledged that his government would give room for private the sector to thrive.He said his government would not interfere in areas the private sector is doing well.

“Our guiding principle regarding economic policy shall be to provide the right policy framework so that business can flourish,” Tinubu said.

“But I want to do more than help existing businesses to exist. We must create the space where new sectors and lines of business can open. We must grow this economy so that it can accommodate over 200 million people with a decent standard of living.

My government will collaborate with the private sector to bring about massive infrastructural renewal that enhance economic opportunities, lower business cost and overheads while producing jobs that spur further growth and development through increased consumer demand. This is the virtuous economic cycle we seek to create.

“From our national infrastructural campaign to our national portable water campaign and plans to reticulate major dams, our intention is to leverage public private partnerships to attract private sector investment along the critical path leading from modernisation of infrastructure to realization of sustainable, yet significant economic growth.

“Please also note the various sectors in which we have promised fiscal incentives, tax breaks, tax credits, rebates and access to finance.

“My aim is to develop local manufacturing and value-added businesses. My aim is to deepen consumer lending, increase affordable housing and provide business owners with low-cost loans to modernise operations and improve productivity.  My aim is to reform the structural foundation of our economy. To accomplish this major feat, government and the private [sector] must work hand in hand.

“Our policy will further stimulate our world-leading start-up ecosystem. I want our brilliant entrepreneurs to continue to innovate our people out of poverty and lead us towards the path of prosperity.”

Another balabloo-blu-bulava illusory promise. Same idiots that not only denied their promises in 2015 but continued to insult the sensibility of the sane citizens of this nation?

Where is the generated electricity in the first place? How much watts was the APC you claimed will improved power in 2014 added to the nation grid?

Guess it was "vote out Jonathan to get stable electricity."? or "to provide 24 hours electricity is now rocket science"? Tinubu is the most despicable politician alive in Nigeria today.

Is it not preposterous and a huge spat on the faces of Nigerians that an individual, who is beleaguered by allegations of corruption, perjury, identity theft, inconsistencies in name and ancestry, as well as alleged narcotics offence for which he forfeited a whopping sum of $460,000 to the United States of America, could present himself for election into the office of the President of the Federal of Nigeria?

"Tinubu urgently needs help, he has to be restrained in spite of himself. What has become very clear is that Tinubu’s chaperones are confirmed wayo people. They are intent on selling to us, “by force, by fire” as pentecostals will say, a holistically defective product...."

No matter how long you protest, we are going to remove subsidy. We can do it. We are educated enough,” Tinubu said.
Now what has happened in the past 7 years? "Subsidy gulps N150 billion every month.” N150 billion is still less than the N200 billion monthly transport bonus bill the regime will pay to 400 million Nigerians.

In other words, Nigeria will spend more money on transport bonus to an amorphous, unidentifiable, and probably cooked-up 40 million poor Nigerians than the subsidies it says it pays on petroleum subsidies, which it says are too expensive to be sustainable. That makes absolutely no sense.


The last time the Buhari regime increased fuel prices last year, it said it had completely done away with fuel subsidies and had left the price of petrol to the vagaries of demand and supply. Now, the regime’s honchos say again that the subsidy they said they’d completely removed, for which there was no allocation in the 2021 budget, must be removed again! ....." https://gazettengr.com/farooq-kperogi-same-old-cruel-lies-to-justify-fuel-price-hike/

To think that this is the same heartless Tinubu who alongside Buhari & other demented fella in the APC denounced and protested against the same subsidy removal in 2014, but who have turned around to be so much involved in paying the same "fraudulent" subsidy in the disastrous 8 years of their moribund govt just shows how wicked human beings can be.

My question remains,why didn't you tell Buhari to do all these things. This election would have been a smooth sailing for you if you had influenced the this government you helped install.

Before you say Tinubu is not Buhari, Tinubu had always said he's a team player. Meanwhile he gave his best team to work in Buhari cabinet.

Osinbajo, Fashola, Aregbesola, Fowler. Just name them.

Now if Tinubu and APC couldn't do what they promised for eight years,how can you trust him to do it again?

Typical for uncouth lout, who greet their parents with slaps and kicks, to gather wherever Tinubu is mentioned.

He is your next President so you either get used to that reality or prepare to move to Cameroon once Tinubu is sworn in.

What heat? Did you not hear Tinubu say he won't get in the gutter to fight PIGs? He is referring to the losers, uncouth lout and poorly-trained Nigerians which surely include many Nairalanders.

The man has an election to win. No time for failures, losers and touts.
