The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, literally cried out on Monday that he has received numerous calls from unknown individuals opposed to the ongoing reforms in the sector.
Adelabu, a former gubernatorial candidate in Oyo State, however, vowed that he would not be intimidated or bullied by those seeking to thwart progress in the sector.
The minister said: “I receive threat calls. I am the 49th power minister in the country. The past ministers were probably bullied and intimated in their work.
” It does not take ordinary people to blow up a power transmission substation with dynamites and pull down a power line.
“It is an organised crime. It is a cabal and cartel. We are all Nigerians. We will not run away from ourselves.”
