Before a mammoth crowd in Abuja, the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has assured Nigerian youth of their inclusiveness in his government, if elected as the president of Nigeria.
He said his promise is a guarantee, one to be kept and well guided, as Nigerian youths deserves much more than what they are currently getting the Nigeria socio-economic scheme of activities.
Peter Obi whi is one of the 18 presidential candidates seeking Nigeria’s highest office in the February 25 polls pledged to support the country’s youth and reduce unemployment among people of aged 15 to 34- which currently stood at 35 per cent, as of the 2nd quarter of 2020.
“Nigerian youths, young people in Nigeria don’t know where the next meal will come. We have high level of youth unemployment, we would employ our youths, we would make them productive. We have vast land in the north where our youth will be engaged and they will be productive. Nigeria will feed itself, Nigeria will be a great nation again….
“The Nigeria that all of us have been dreaming of, the Nigeria that we leave here to run away to go and study abroad, (Peter) Obi is the man that will grant us that Nigeria that we all dream of and that’s why I am here to support him and also very confident that he is going to win his election,” Kingsley Inyamah a research analyst said.
“Obi himself motivated me to support him. When he came out and he was talking about himself, how he was accountable when he ruled Anambra State, the whole thing just captivated me, and I fell in love with him right on the spot,” Mirabel Onyewe, a student.
Obi increasing popularity amongst the Nigerian youth and the Christian population has change the political equation and landscape of the country as many views his rapid followership as a big threat to the old order.
