A video of All Progressives Congress flagbearer, Bola Tinubu revealing his plans for the unemployed youth in the country is making rounds.
In the video, Tinubu who was asked how he would solve youth unemployment in Nigeria said he would recruit 50 million youth into the army.
According to him, farm produce which are being grown in the country will be used to cater for the needs of the recruited soldiers.
He said;
"Recruit 50 million youth into the army. Take away from them their recruitment source. What they will eat cassava, corn in the morning, yam in the afternoon. It is growing here. You create demand and consumption."
After the long awaited APC primaries which took place at the Eagles Square in Abuja on June 8, Tinubu beat Rotimi Amaechi and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to become the presidential candidate of the party for the 2023 general election.
Since the video hit the internet, social media users have been reacting to it.
