‎‎Speaking with journalists in Ilawe-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Falana said the government must first fulfil its promise of providing stable and uninterrupted electricity before considering any tariff hike. ‎‎The senior advocate alleged that many owners of electricity distribution companies maintain close ties with government officials, warning that such relationships should not shield the firms from accountability. ‎‎“The government should provide uninterrupted electricity. That was a promise made by President Bola Tinubu when he was a candidate,” Falana said. ‎‎Falana maintained that the focus should be on reforms that improve electricity generation, transmission and distribution, rather than imposing additional financial burdens on consumers.
