“My Children Can’t Get Jobs Due To My Name” – PDP Chieftain Bode George Decries Hardship
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Bode George has disclosed that his own children are “struggling” to find employment in Nigeria simply because of his name.
Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George lamented the widespread hunger and anger in the country, emphasising that the plight of ordinary Nigerians is what truly matters.
“Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger,” he said.
George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, expressed concern about the bleak future facing Nigerian youth, stating, “Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing.”
He urged President Bola Tinubu to establish a special fund to empower young people and provide micro-credit opportunities for graduates.
“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.”
George also criticised the First Lady’s national library initiative, suggesting that funds could be better allocated from wealthy bank donors.
“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,” he lamented. (SaharaReporters)
