The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has sparked speculations on social media after he said Nigeria must move from consumption to production.

The former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi Naija News understands that had in his recurrent campaign slogan claimed that a drastic reduction in importation of goods for consumption and increase in production of essential goods will help keep jobs in the country instead of exporting them.

While speaking in national innovation workshop organized by the Senate Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation in Anambra State, Osinbajo said, “Nigeria will be great only when we begin to shift our emphasis from a consuming nation. We must rely on production and that is the only way to go.”

Some Nigerians read the statement as an endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour party’ economic plans for the country.

A user of the micro logging site Twitter, Frank, latched on to the statement and said, “VP secretly endorsing obi.”

JoSi said, “Okay. Yemi Osinbajo is now Obidient.”

How does this tally with his proposal to remove all import restrictions?
Obi and his supporters are extremely dishonest. If you remove all import restrictions is that how you reduce importation?
Fuzzy logic, fuzzy thinking and fuzzy statistics all the time.

Both Obi and Osibanjo are orators. Both of them are also politicians. Buhari made more promises than Obi, but where are we now? Where is the breath of fresh air Jonathan promised after 6 years? There has never been any significant progress in Nigeria since 1960 by any successive government. Obi's presidency will only redistribute wealth but will not bring any significant changes to the nation's polity.

Don't you know what they call slogans and branding. Imagine if Obama said let's "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN".

"From consumption to production" - Peter Obi 2022

Now that Osinbajo is gradually aligning with Obi, what's the next step for him to take? Obi should stretch arms of love to him.

I'm believe many hired urchins [ here on Nairlnd are also Obidient secretly.

ElSudani:


Basically this is not a policy statement but a mere slogan to hoodwink Nigerians?

ganisucks:

No, it's a subtle message from Osinbajo to who and what Nigerians should augur for next year.

buckeyemedia:
Yet he lost the election, which is everything?

Very funny how dummy Obidense get carried away by the slightest action, yet the Betrayer has left the party that gave him the opportunity to debate the Vice President?

Judas himself.
