The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Cross River State, Mr. Mike Igini has accused the staff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria of sabotaging the efforts of the federal government to give Nigerians uninterrupted power supply.
The outspoken REC also alleged that some staff of the power company demanded the sum of N4.2m from INEC before they can install a transformer that INEC purchased for only N900,000.
In a statement from INEC obtained by crossriverwatch, Mr. Igini said: “we were told that our transformer was bad and needed to be replaced. Outrageous quotations were brought ranging from N1.2m (200 by 33KVA) to (N1.4M) all refurbished but in Lagos, we secured a brand new (200 by 33 KVA) with cost of transportation at N900, 000.00 to Calabar”.
“To install the transformer, we were asked to pay installation fee of N4.2million by PHCN staff that my staff approached that came to the office or we should go to any of their contractors”.
