Unemployment In Nigeria Is As A Result Of Buhari’s Incompetence – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has come out to say that the recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics on escalated 33.3 per cent unemployment rate in the country has exposed Buhari and his government.

The party recently revealed this in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP’s publicity secretary, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the report has proven that claims by the presidency on job creation are false, and it is now clear that the direct cause of the escalating unemployment is the incompetence of the current administration.

He added that it is sad to see how the unemployment rate among young and very enterprising Nigerians, within the age of 15 to 34 years, has risen to 42.5 per cent, yet FG is doing nothing about it.

It read, “It is clear that the direct cause of the escalating unemployment is the incompetence as well as the widespread corruption and treasury looting in the Buhari administration, where APC leaders are reported to have looted over N15 trillion, which should have been used to create wealth, develop our country and provide jobs for our citizens.”

“It is rather distressing that, as shown in the NBS report, that unemployment rate among young and very enterprising Nigerians, within the age of 15 to 34 years, had risen to 42.5 per cent; a revelation that put a lie to claims by the Buhari administration, of mass employment, job opportunities and economic empowerment of our youths.”

“It is now obvious that under President Buhari and the APC, the Federal Government created jobs only in their fake statistics while in reality, they are taking no concrete steps to empower our hard-working citizens.”

“More frustrating is that the APC and its administration have promoted a huge racket where Nigerians are deceived to pay for non-existent jobs in ministries, department and agencies at alarming costs, ranging between N2 million to 6 million, depending on the agency.”

“The APC administration, in its corruption, is allowing such evil enterprise, while millions of Nigerians are weeping on the streets after being defrauded of their hard-earned money, life-saving and pensions of aged parents by job fraudsters in official circles.”

“The only achievement by the APC administration is the impoverishing of Nigerians and turning of our dear nation of hitherto very happy and prosperous people, into the world’s poverty capital.”

“Our party charges President Muhammadu Buhari to accept his incompetence, take urgent steps to recover the over N15 trillion allegedly stolen by his party leaders and allow more competent hands to revamp our economy.”
