The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu , was left literally in the dark while attending a meeting at the National Assembly on Monday.
It was gathered by Hobnob News reports that a viral photo circulating online shows the minister sitting in a darkened room, surrounded by senators, as the power suddenly went out.
In the caption accompanying the photo, it was revealed 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.
