Public affairs commentator Mahdi Shehu has lambasted the Nigerian Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, for his recent statement regarding complaints from Nigerians about their freezers freezing due to power outages. In a post on his X account, Shehu described Tegbe's remarks as false and misleading, stating that if telling lies becomes a habit, it can become a pathological issue that is impossible to rectify.
Shehu's criticism came shortly after Tegbe spoke at the official launching of a 3-megawatt solar hybrid power project at the University of Abuja. During his speech, Tegbe claimed that recent government interventions had significantly improved electricity supply in certain parts of the country, noting that regions which previously experienced power outages for up to three months were now receiving up to 18 hours of electricity daily.
Tegbe explained that some areas had contacted him, expressing that their freezers were freezing due to prolonged power cuts, and he humorously suggested that this was the intended purpose of freezers—to preserve food.
