Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Bode George, has claimed that his children cannot secure jobs in the country because of his name.
George said this during an interview on Nigeria Info FM 99.3.
The politician bemoaned the level on unemployment, hardship, and lack of youth empowerment in the country.
“Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger. Forget about me being in the PDP, the base of the pyramid is what really matters,” he stated.
“What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land and there is so much hunger.
“Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing. I suggested that Mr. President should set up a special fund to ensure that those guys who didn’t train in any skill can be empowered.
“Then micro-credit for young graduates who want to do one business or the other.
“Recently, the First Lady announced that she was going to build a national library and she needed contributions.
“That fund should have been by the President asking these people in the banks, those who donated N20 billion in two days, to give that money, which will be public money, and process it through good management.
“The younger generation in this country, including my own children who graduated a long time ago, have returned and tried to get a job, but they can’t get a job because their name is Bode George.”
