3:41Tinubu's Jigawa rally introduces the APC manifesto and a renewed promise of reliable electricity.
7:05Power Minister Joseph Tegbe puts stable electricity supply on a three-to-five-year timetable.
9:20Reuben Abati questions whether the promised power improvements can be delivered within a shorter timetable.
30:44A Channels TV clip shows a live test call to Nigeria's 112 emergency line failing to connect.
34:55INEC chairman Joash Amupitan says most Permanent Voter Cards are being printed outside Nigeria.

"In all honesty, in 2026, we should have moved past the stage where we are being promised reliable power," Anieze Akinola says after introducing President Bola Tinubu's renewed electricity pledge.

Standing in for Ojy Okpe on Arise News's What's Trending, Akinola puts the promise alongside a longer timetable from Power Minister Joseph Tegbe. Tinubu tells a rally in Dutse, Jigawa State, that Nigerians will have reliable electricity; Tegbe says stable supply will take three to five years.

That gap between a campaign assurance and the work of delivering it gives the panel its central question. Reuben Abati cautions against overpromising, while Rufai Oseni points to technical bottlenecks in the grid. The discussion is not simply about whether electricity will improve, but when Nigerians should expect the pledge to become an everyday reality.

The programme drew more than 100,000 views in 13 hours, an unusually fast start for an Arise News regular upload. Separate reports on Peter Obi's Jos campaign appearance and the APC manifesto also attracted substantially more viewing than the channel's usual first day.

Public services and election preparations remain in focus later in Akinola's roundup. A clip from Channels TV shows an attempted live call to Nigeria's emergency number failing to connect, despite APC chieftain Alwan Hassan's insistence that it works. INEC chairman Joash Amupitan then explains that most Permanent Voter Cards are being printed abroad, bringing the discussion from campaign promises to the practical preparations for voting.
