'Lack of Electricity Makes People Engage Their Wives Early, Doubles Population' – Fayose
Fayose said poor power supply leaves people indoors after dark and reduces recreation, while arguing better electricity would create nightlife.
- Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose linked Nigeria's population growth to poor electricity supply, claiming in a video shared by ARISE News that limited nocturnal recreation forces rural residents to retire early.
- Fayose recently assumed the role of Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed him in July 2026. He made these remarks following his official inauguration.
- After 7 o'clock, darkness leaves rural residents with no alternative attractions, Fayose argued. Addressing power shortages would create nightlife and diverse recreational opportunities, preventing people from remaining indoors during evening hours.
- "Everybody is engaging their wives," Fayose said, suggesting the lack of nighttime entertainment leads to population increases. He questioned why the Federal Government does not prioritize electricity as a solution.
- Fayose maintains that electricity remains the primary obstacle to developing vibrant nightlife in rural communities. He insists resolving power deficiencies is essential for modernizing social activity and addressing population growth trends.
