Adams Oshiomhole, a former Edo State governor has blamed Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate for being part of the reason for the high rate of unemployment in the country.
Oshiomhole said Obi should be blamed for the unemployment rate for importing finished products into Nigeria.
The former All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman and senatorial candidate for Edo North disclosed this during the flag-off of his campaign in Auchi, Edo State over the weekend.
He said, “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.”
Nigeria’s unemployment rate was ranked at 33 percent as of the last quarter of 2022.
Obi has focused his presidential campaign on ensuring that Nigeria becomes a productive economy rather than a consumption economy if elected as the president.
