Bruce, a senator representing Bayelsa, unveiled his idea in a Twitter thread on Wednesday, revealing why he made the call for Nigeria to ban all combustion engines by 2035.
He said when he made the call, he was misunderstood by many because they didn't think his idea was possible in a country plagued by inadequate electricity supply.

Speaking further, Bruce said that electricity is not a hindrance as he is presently working on a "robust green revolution plan for Nigeria where electric cars would be powered by the sun."
According to him, we do not need electric power, petrol or diesel for our cars to function as every Nigerian would have solar panels at home backed by a law requiring every house to possess one.

He said the good news is that the solar panels will be made in Nigeria, with the assembling of the cars done in the country as well.

When I deposited payment for the Lucid Electric Car, @LucidMotors, I also made a call for Nigeria to ban all combustion engine cars by 2035.
Many misunderstood my call because they didn’t think it will be possible in a country with terrible electricity.

I am currently working on a robust green revolution plan for #Nigeria, where electric cars would be powered by the sun. We will not need electric power, petrol or diesel for our vehicles to function.
Every Nigerian will have solar panels at home and backed by a law that will require all new houses to possess the same.

The other good news is that we will make solar panels in Nigeria and assemble electric cars in Nigeria.
A cleaner environment for all Nigerians is near, and I am committed to this.
