A bit of a dumb question, but is it possible to make lightning as fast light? I know that in truth lightning only goes about 1/3 the speed of light, but if someone were to manipulate the speed of lightning, could they make they make it go as fast or close to light-speed?

I ask this because I read this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity, and it got me thinking.
