Oshiomhole blames Peter Obi for Nigeria’s high unemployment rate.

Former Edo state governor Adams Oshiomhole has claimed that Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi is to blame for Nigeria’s high unemployment.

Oshiomole, the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Edo North, made the claim over the weekend during the launch of his campaign in the Auchi area of the state.

Obi, according to Oshiomole, aided Nigeria’s unemployment by importing finished goods.

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,” Oshiomhole said.

According to statistics, Nigeria’s unemployment rate was 33% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Experts blame the ruling party for the country’s high unemployment rate.

Obi has focused his campaign on a Nigeria of a production economy since becoming the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
