John Mahama, President of Ghana, blamed irregular
power cuts in his country on Nigeria during a speech.
He
says this is due to the delays in the delivery of crude oil from Nigeria
to power thermal plants in Ghana – because of the activities of Niger
Delta Avengers, who have been blowing up oil and gas pipelines in the
Niger Delta.
The Niger Delta Avengers, yesterday, reportedly blew up three Chevron
manifolds at Diogbolo, near Dibi, Warri Local Government Area of Delta
State, using controlled explosive devices.
The president is quoted as saying:
“We have recently suffered some generational problems. I held a stakeholders’ meeting with all those involved in the power sector. Because of sabotage in Nigeria on the terminals, crude oil that we ordered last month has not arrived; and so, it has created some generational problem for us.”
However, he assured Ghanaians that things will return to normal very soon. He said:
“We are taking steps every day to ensure that Ghana has security when it comes to power.”
