Confusion as Adams Oshiomhole levels heavy allegation against Peter Obi

The former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has accused the flag bearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, of being an importer of unemployment into Nigeria.

Oshiomhole while speaking during the flag-off of his campaign rally for the APC's senatorial candidacy for Edo North district in Auchi said that Obi contributes to the high unemployment rate in the country as an importer of finished goods from other nations.

The former governor of Edo state noted that because Obi own the biggest Abuja shopping mall which imports wine, clothes, and other items, he (Obi) is contributing to the depreciation of the Nigerian naira.

He said: “ “Obi owns the biggest shopping mall in Abuja and all the items sold there are imported, so 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.”

Peter Obi is a businessman and has served as a former bank CEO of a new generation bank in Nigeria. He owns the popular Next Cash and Carry supermarket located in the Jahi area of Abuja, Nigeria's capital city. The supermarket was destroyed following a fire incident in December 2021 and has since not been operational.
