According to The Chat1212, Oshiomhole spoke at a rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agenebode, Fugar and Jattu in Etsako Local Government Area of the state, where he accused the PDP government of duping unemployed Nigerian youths of over N800 million.
He rebuffed the Federal Government’s claims that it had created about three three million jobs. Maintaining that such claims were false as nobody could point to any of his relations so employed by the government.
The governor said: “They claim to have created three million jobs. Among you people that are here, how many of your brothers have got Federal Government jobs. Over the years, government’s employment is done based on rules.
“The PDP Federal Government cheated unemployed people, poor youths. They used a private consultancy firm to ask people to pay N1000 to an account. Nigerian rules are clear; you cannot collect money from unemployed people looking for jobs”.
According to Oshiomhole, even after the PDP-led Federal Government spent over $30 billion on power, Nigerians still live in darkness; and after promising the people on the construction of a second Niger bridge, nothing is on ground to justify the huge sums so far pumped into the project.
Governor Oshiomhole, who lambasted the Federal Government for squandering over $30 billion on power, urged Nigerians to demand an explanation for it.
He said: “For 16 years now we have had a democracy. During the 16 years PDP has been the only party in power. Every year they have made promises about what they will do.”
The Edo state governor, has severally accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of failing to facilitate major infrastructural developments in power, education health and other sectors in Nigeria.
