In a video shared on Worship Media TV, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore stated in an interview about a former Managing Director of the Transmission Company of Nigeria said Nigeria could enjoy 24-hour electricity with the right leadership.
Omoyele Sowore narrated that a former official told him powerful interests converted ₦38 billion through Bureau De Change operators in Abuja and flew ₦9 billion to Dubai on the same day. This money was allegedly shared among network members in a single day.
Sowore shared the account from conversations he had with a former official (identified in his post as Mamman) while at Kuje Prison.
According to him,sum of ₦38 billion was allegedly laundered via Abuja Bureau De Change operators, alongside another ₦9 billion flown directly to Dubai.
The entire conversion and distribution among the connected network allegedly took place within a single day.
The informant claimed he was not part of the grand sharing scheme and blamed his detention on political ambitions regarding the Taraba State governorship.
Sowore used the account to highlight that corruption in Nigeria’s power sector is deeply entrenched and operated by powerful cartels.
He maintains that fixing Nigeria’s chronic electricity crisis requires completely dismantling these privileged networks rather than applying minor reforms.
In Sowore’s words: “I met the former minister of power in Kuje Prison who told me that in one day, they converted 38 billion Naira and shared it among themselves and another 9 billion naira was flown to Dubai by criminals in the power sector”
