Peter Obi Imports Majority Of Foreign Products Nigerians Consume – Yahaya Bello Speaks
Peter Obi, a presidential standard-bearer on the platform of the Labour Party, is the importer of “the majority” of the products Nigerians consume, says Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi.
Mr Bello was a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress but was unsuccessful in his campaign to clinch the ruling party’s ticket. The governor noted that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate’s “online agitation” would not translate to grassroots mobilisation in politics.

“He is doing well in his own right, but let me tell you: online agitation is different from grassroots movements and mobilisation,” the Kogi governor declared.
Mr Bello, appointed as the Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima campaign council youth coordinator, disclosed this during an interview with Channels TV on Monday.
Described as the importer of the “majority” of the foreign products Nigerians consume, Mr Obi has always campaigned that the country should focus more on production rather than consumption.
“As a matter of urgency, Nigeria must stop borrowing for consumption but only borrow to invest in regenerative development projects and other productive ventures,” Mr Obi stated in August. “It’s ironical that states that received fiscal bailouts did not invest them properly; did not repay the loans and are still borrowing beyond their revenue earnings.”
The Kogi governor dismissed polls and reports claiming that Mr Obi is a leading candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election while vowing to mobilise Nigerian youths in support of the APC presidential flag bearer, Mr Tinubu.

Are you blaming him for importing what the government has failed to encourage the people to produce in the country? If those things he imported were produced here, will he go and bring them here for those of us who cannot go there like you to buy? Or your pain is that why should he bring those things here, challenging your privileges of having the best. I am convinced that it’s the pains of the importation that triggered him on the need to produce those things in our country. So let’s give him the chance to do so.
