Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised to return Nigerian youths to farming and small-scale businesses if elected president in 2027.
Obi made the promise on Saturday in Kaduna during an NDC political gathering, where he and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, spoke about their plans for job creation and economic development.
He said his administration would focus on moving Nigeria from consumption to production while creating jobs and running an inclusive government anchored on unity and investment.
“If you elect us to serve, we will only borrow money for investment,” Obi said.
“We’re no longer going to borrow money for consumption. We want to move Nigeria from consumption to production. By that, we will create jobs.”
