Why Peter Obi Is To Blame For Unemployment In Nigeria — Oshiomhole

The former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole has blamed the high level of unemployment in the country on Labour Party presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi.

According to Oshiomhole, Obi has contributed to Nigeria's unemployment by importing finished goods.

The APC senatorial candidate for Edo North made the assertion while flagging off his campaign in the Auchi area of the state during the weekend.

“Obi owns the biggest shopping mall in Abuja and all the items sold there are imported.

“If he is selling imported wines, clothes and other items, he is contributing to why Nigeria is going down because he is creating jobs abroad and importing unemployment to Nigeria,” Oshiomhole stated.

The rate of unemployment in the country was estimated to reach 33 per cent in 2022 from 32.5 per cent in 2021.

The ruling APC has been blamed for the high level of joblessness and Obi has emphasised boosting Nigeria's production capacity if elected as president in 2023.
