Owerri, Imo State – The Orashi Electricity Company project, touted as a revolutionary power project, has raised more questions than answers.
Sources close to the matter confided in _Standard Daily Press_ that the 378MW power plant and substations might be nothing more than a pipe dream, designed to fleece the people of Imo State.
The project’s details seem suspicious, with no clear evidence of funding or partnership with credible investors. The Governor’s recent inspection of the project site appears to be a publicity stunt, aimed at convincing the public of the project’s viability.
Meanwhile, the people of Imo State continue to suffer from erratic power supply, with businesses and homes struggling to stay afloat. The promised 12-20+ hours of electricity supply seems like a far-fetched dream, and the alleged benefits of the project remain unconvincing.
As the Governor’s administration continues to tout the project as a major achievement, citizens are demanding transparency and accountability. Where is the money coming from? Who are the real beneficiaries of this project? These questions need to be answered before the people of Imo State can trust their leaders.
The Orashi Electricity Company project has all the makings of a scam. It’s time for the Governor to come clean and provide evidence of the project’s legitimacy. Until then, the people of Imo State will remain skeptical.
