I spend ₦40,000 daily on electricity – Pete Edochie laments

Pete Edochie has lamented Nigeria’s worsening electricity crisis, revealing that he spends as much as ₦40,000 every day just to keep the lights on in his home.

The 78-year-old actor made the revelation during an interview on African Independent Television (AIT), where he spoke about the harsh realities Nigerians face due to poor power supply.

According to Edochie, the daily amount covers different sources of power used in his home.

“I spend about ₦10,000 every day buying electricity units. Then I spend ₦20,000 on diesel to power the generator and another ₦10,000 on petrol for a smaller generator,” he said.

“That brings the total to ₦40,000 daily just to provide electricity in my house.”

“It disturbs me a big deal. Then I listen to people who are only interested in getting into politics and enjoying power. Nobody seems to be bothered about what’s happening to the common man,” he added.
