In a bizarre and embarrassing event, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu , was left literally in the dark while attending a meeting at the National Assembly on Monday.
A viral photo circulating online shows the minister sitting in a darkened room, surrounded by senators, as the power suddenly went out.
The caption accompanying the photo reveals that the minister was at the Assembly to discuss important matters with the Senate when the unexpected blackout occurred. The irony of the situation has sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, who were quick to poke fun at the minister’s expense.
Many have taken to the comment section to label the minister as the “Minister of Darkness” and other unflattering names, while others see the incident as a national embarrassment. The incident has raised questions about the country’s power infrastructure and the minister’s ability to effectively manage it.
