Adams Oshiomhole, former Edo state governor and the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Edo North, has blamed Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, for the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria.
Oshiomhole claimed that Obi’s importation of finished goods contributed to Nigeria’s unemployment.
As reported by Vanguard, the former governor made the claim during the flag-off of his campaign in the Auchi area of the State over 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 said.
Ironically, since his emergence as Labour Party presidential candidate, Obi has always anchored his campaign on the basis of turning Nigeria from a consumption country to a production country.
