Installing Solar Panels At Aso Rock Is Smart, Not Shameful – Reno Omokri

Former presidential side Reno Omokri, has defended the recent installation of solar panels at Aso Rock, the official residence of the Nigerian Presidency.

He described criticisms of the move as “small-picture thinking” and argued that it was an economically sensible and environmentally progressive decision.

Omokri emphasized that the move is not a rejection of Nigeria’s electricity infrastructure but aligns with global energy sustainability trends.

He cited the example of the White House, which has used solar energy since 1979, under President Jimmy Carter.

Omokri pointed out that the British monarchy, under King Charles III, has installed solar panels at Buckingham Palace, while France uses geothermal technology at the Élysée Palace.

“Are you now saying that that means the United States Government does not have confidence in the ability of the United States Department of Energy to coordinate and provide adequate power for America?” Omokri questioned.

“French Presidency not express faith in British Gas and Électricité de France to provide power?” he added.

Omokri stressed that solar and geothermal energy are the future of global power supply, reducing environmental impact and easing the pressure on national grids.

He praised President Tinubu for leading by example, saving Nigerian taxpayers’ money, and ensuring that the national grid could focus on supplying power to rural areas and industrial clusters.

“By installing solar panels at Aso Rock, President Tinubu is leading by example and saving the Nigerian taxpayer money.

“The more Nigerians use solar energy, the less pressure they put on the National Grid. The grid can then evacuate scarce electric power to where it is most needed, including rural communities and industrial clusters,” he stated.

He urged Nigerians to avoid joining in the criticism of the installation, describing it as a “total misunderstanding” of the situation.
