Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP),
has met with stakeholders in the entertainment industry.
Ahead of the presidential election on February 25, Obi
shared his vision for Nigeria — if elected president — when he met with top
entertainers on Thursday evening.
He said Nigeria is blessed with enormous resources that need
to be harnessed for development purposes.
He, however, lamented the rate of unemployment in the country, saying some “youths engage in kidnapping and killing and end up in prison because they have no job.”
“We have enough youths who are looking for jobs. I have been
to nine prisons to ask youths why did you kidnap, why did you kill, why did you
shoot? They say they have no jobs,” he said.
“And here we are. Those people who are stealing it (crude
oil) are those who are supposed to enforce it.
“We are blessed with natural resources. We are blessed with
human capital that if you train and develop can change the world. Without
training they are changing the world.”
The celebrities in attendance include Kanayo O Kanayo, Chidi
Mokeme, Nkechi Blessing, Okey Bakassi and Paul and Peter Okoye.
Others are Anita Joseph, Zubby Michael, Hanks Anuku, Frank
Edoho, Uche Montana, and BBNaija star Frodd.
