Obasanjo, Atiku responsible for closure of Nigerian industries - Oshiomhole

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, bear responsibility for the closure of industries in Nigeria, according to Edo North Senator Adams Oshiomhole. The APC chieftain made this claim during a presidential campaign rally in Ekiti State. Oshiomhole alleged that Michelin and Dunlop factories were among the industries shut down under Obasanjo and Atiku's administration, transforming Nigeria into an importer of goods.

He urged the Ekiti State populace to vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027, emphasizing that the current government has approved a new minimum wage for workers. Oshiomhole questioned Atiku's lament over unemployment and pointed out that the industries closed were a result of the government and party Atiku had previously belonged to.
