NYC Speaks Against Total Black Out In Ado-Ekiti

.....Gives BEDC Five days ultimatum 

By Wasiu Owolewa, Ado-Ekiti

The Nigerian Youths Congress, Ado-Ekiti LG chapter has spoken against the total black out in Ado-Ekiti.

In a communique issued after its weekly meeting in Ado-Ekiti which was co-signed by the Coordinator, Comrade Kola Babs and the P.R.O, Comrade Wasiu Owolewa,  the youth body described the move by the Benin Electricity Distribution Commission (BEDC) to throw Ado-Ekiti into total darkness for days as unjustifiable and uncalled for.

Part of the communique reads,
"Assessing the situation in Ado-Ekiti for the past five days whereby the state capital was thrown into total black out for no cogent reason by BEDC, we Nigerian Youth Congress, Ado-Ekiti LG chapter  condemn in strong term this unjustifiable act of inconsideration"

"Smooth running of businesses and daily activities in Ado-Ekiti have been greatly 
hampered by lack of power supply which has now become unbearable for residents"

The youth body furthered by giving BEDC five days ultimatum to rectify any fault that might cause the total black out or face unimaginable action from the youth body.

"We are calling on the authority of Benin Electricity Distribution Commission(BEDC) to find a possible solution to this black out and restore electricity back to Ado-Ekiti within five days. Failure to do so might attract unimaginable action from the youth body"

NYC also urged the state government to call BEDC to order.

....Vows to take action on criminals  I receive daily security reports on the attacks on critical national infrastructure, and it is very clear that those behind them want this administration to fail. Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time. I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide. These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives. I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands. In the area of security, we have changed the Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General, and we are demanding that they rise fully to the challenge...
