He stated this on Wednesday at the launching of Ward to Ward Campaign of Hon. Sowunmi Olomu, the party’s candidate representing Abeokuta South Constituency 1, in the State House of Assembly, in 2023 election.

Oluyemi said that of the FG fails to provide employment opportunities for the youth in the country the issue of insecurity will never end as more youth would get involved due to lack of job availability

He said most of those people involve in insecurity activities including kidnapping banditry, herders attacks, Boko Haram among others were youth who have no jobs or looking for one

The deputy candidate expressed regret at the rate which the country produce graduates yearly without creating more jobs in the country to make them gainfully employed

He, however, stressed that if he and the governorship candidate of the party, Otunba Tony Ojeshina, were elected, they would create jobs for youth and make them 45% inclusive in their government.

“The insecurity issue is about poverty if we are able to eradicate poverty or reduce poverty to the minimum level definitely the issue of insecurity will be resolved, nobody will like to carry gun if they are gainfully employed. So if everybody is fully engaged who will now want to get involved in insecurity issues in their environment.” he added.
