From Emmanuel Uzor, Awka
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked Chief Emeka Offor and the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company(EEDC) to start providing regular electricity in the South-East or risk sanction.
The pro-Biafra group gave the warning on Monday in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful.
Daily Sun reported that EEDC had last week explained the reason behind the poor power supply currently experienced across the South-east, stating that it was beyond its powers.
The company attributed the situation to low energy generation which had resulted in a drop in power supply availability generally.
But IPOB in its statement accused the company of extorting the people of the area without providing electricity paid for.
“The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu condemn the non-supply of light and outrageous electricity billing from Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) in the South East Region.“
“It is wicked for EEDC and its owner, Sir Emeka Offor to keep increasing the electricity bill without providing electricity to the people. If EEDC can’t provide light or stop extortion in their billing system, it should be kicked out of the South East Region permanently and replaced”
“We don’t see where an electricity distribution company will not provide light, yet keep increasing electric bills every month. Other electricity distribution companies in other regions of Nigeria are providing more reliable electricity, unlike EEDC”
“Sir Emeka Offor, the owner of EEDC, is part of the Nigerian oppression cabal who are bent on starving the southeast region of investments. Emeka Offor and his electricity company are bent on starving the South Eastern region of electricity at the same time impoverishing Ndigbo by outrageous electricity bills.
