EKO HOT BLOG reports that the former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole has claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi is responsible for high unemployment in Nigeria.
Oshiomole, the All Progressives Congress, APC senatorial candidate for Edo North, made the assertion during the flag-off of his campaign in the Auchi area of the State over the weekend.
According to Oshiomole, “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.”
Statistics have shown that Nigeria’s unemployment rate stood at 33 percent as of the last quarter of 2020.
Most Nigerians and experts blamed the APC Government for the high rate of unemployment in the country.
Following his emergence as LP presidential candidate, Obi anchored his campaign on ensuring Nigeria becomes a production economy.
