Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Abdulgafar Ahmad, popularly known as Cute Abiola, has expressed frustration over Nigeria’s electricity situation, appealing to President Bola Tinubu to address the persistent power challenges and hardship in the country.
In a video shared online, the comedian said his solar power supply had also gone off, leaving him without electricity amid the hot weather.
Addressing the President, he pleaded for intervention, saying Nigerians were struggling with the worsening conditions.
“President Tinubu, my solar is off. Please, for God’s sake, help us. My solar is off right now. Please, everywhere is hot. The suffering is too much. Please, there’s no light. Abeg,” he said.
Cute Abiola also took a swipe at what he portrayed as the administration’s focus on Tinubu’s re-election while citizens continue to grapple with economic difficulties and unreliable electricity supply.
He ended his remarks with a sarcastic reference to the growing reliance on alternative power sources, saying: “Buy solar, buy solar. Solar sef dey off.”
