Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peter Obi has decried the current high debt profile which the present federal government administration of President Mohammadu Buhari plunged the country into.
Obi who spoke inside Onitsha prisons during the 65th Birthday ceremony of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Onitsha Catholic Ecclesiastical Province, His Grace, Most Rev. Valerian Maduka Okeke, said over 13.5 million Nigerian children are not in school, just as unemployment rate is nothing to write home about.
He contended that his choice as the vice president does not in any way call for celebration because the situation of Nigeria as of today requires an aggressive approach to ameliorate the situation, adding that if elected as vice president, he would personally work for the renovation of all the schools in the country.
