Speaking at a rally of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Agenebode, Fugar and Jattu in Etsako Local Government Areas of the state, Oshiomhole said the Federal Government’s claim of creating three million jobs was false as nobody can point to any of his relations so employed by the Federal Government.
He said the Jonathan administration was full of deceit, as it only says things it would never deliver on.
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 the construction of a second Niger Bridge, nothing is on ground to justify the huge sums of money so far pumped into the project.
He said: “They claim to have created three million jobs. Among you people here, how many of your brothers have got Federal Government jobs. Over the years, government employment is done based on rules.”
