Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged President Bola Tinubu to look into the new electricity tariff in the country.

Igbokwe, a staunch supporter of Tinubu’s presidency, said the development will kill businesses if not reversed.

In a post on his Facebook page weekend, Igbokwe lamented that N20,000 worth of units only lasted him for just a day.

The APC chieftain, therefore, urged the government to review the electricity tariff.

He said: “PBAT, please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about about 7 units of AC.

“We used to buy 300 plus units for N20, 0000. Yesterday we bought N20, 000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this”.

In 2022, Igbokwe declared that Tinubu, having ruled Lagos, won't find it difficult yo rule Nigeria.

“Lagos is a 24 hour state and so anybody who has been governor in the state will not find it difficult to rule Nigeria.”

After the presidential election, Igbokwe, a Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Water Resources, taunted the South East region where he hails from, boasting that Tinubu, the then president-elect, would rule Nigeria for eight years and hand over power to a northerner.
