By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu, has said Nigerian youths can’t be blamed for being lazy.

Tinubu claimed Nigerian youths cannot be blamed for being “lazy” with erratic electricity supply in the country.

Addressing youths of the All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday in Lagos State, the party’s National Leader, said Nigeria cannot experience “rapid development” without electricity.

He maintained that Nigeria cannot continue to give “excuses” for failure to generate a stable power supply.

According to Tinubu: “We cannot continue with excuses on NEPA failure. No! No nation can make rapid development without electricity.

“Give us that, and if we cannot be successful, you can abuse us. You cannot give us erratic electricity that is undependable and then blame us again that we are lazy. No!

He said most Nigerian youths want to sit down and do nothing while relying on the claims that Nigeria is an oil-rich nation.
