Sale Mamman, minister of power, says the “cabal” in his ministry who are bent on denying Nigerians electricity.

The minister said this while reacting to the criticism which trailed his suspension of some top officials in the ministry.

Mamman had suspended Damilola Ogunbiyi, former managing director of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), and Marilyn Amobi, managing director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET), pending investigation into allegations levelled against them.

However, some critics accused him of ethnic bias.

But in a statement on Monday, the minister denied the allegations, saying he acted in the interest of Nigerians.

Mamman, who spoke through Aaron Artimas, his media aide, said cabals have held the ministry by the throat.

He said Nigerians should be more concerned on why there is no improvement in the sector despite billions of dollars spent by the istration to make electricity available.

“This obviously affected their performance in impacting the entire industry. No responsible leadership will tolerate such chaotic situation and expect success on the ultimate goal of improving power in the country,” he said.

“When he assumed duty barely five months ago, Mamman was never under any illusion that his job was going to be a walk in the garden.

“Soon after we began to hear of a cabal which held the ministry by the throat and denying Nigerians the full value of their huge investments in the power sector.

“As early as November last year, this cabal began to sponsor insidious reports using some faceless groups in Lagos, claiming that the ministry under the new minister was biased.

“It is the same untouchables who want to perpetuate themselves in power that are now resisting any form of re-organisation meant to re-position the Ministry for optimum performance.

“The Ministry should not be tied down by individuals whose only concern is the retention of power at the expense of service delivery.”

Awol1:

Las las na 2023 everything go end.

So the minister should wait and not act against them until he finds a Hausa equivalent (while Nigerians suffer) in order to satisfy your myopic tribal bigotry.

Hope thing work now that they are removed

Liar.
It just happens that the cabals are the two most experienced staff of the ministry.
The minister's aim was to replace them with his friends or family.

Resign if you can't get the cabal out of the way. President Buhari gave you opportunity to serve and not to complain.

After 100year still no light.

Still on the blame game issue just as the Fashola's silly infamous statements: "To provide 24hours electricity is not rocket science/To get stable electricity, vote out PDP."

You're appointed though on ethno-religious basis oga, so take charge & deal with the cabal.

Take action in the interest of Nigeria and make sure there is no cover up or else you'll be the next to be exposed as corrupt.
