As the single biggest individual importer, Peter Obi is the biggest threat to #GrowNairaBuyNaija. We cannot move from consumption to production and become a prosumer nation if people like Peter Obi, through his Next stores, do not stop their massive importation of goods that can be easily manufactured locally.
As long as people like Peter Obi keep dumping cheap imported tomato paste, evaporated milk, cereals, toiletries, and other consumables on the Nigerian market, domestic manufacturers will strive and not thrive.
Moreover, they will undermine the impressive 4.3% GDP growth President Tinubu has achieved for Nigeria.
Some of these guys even import toothpicks and toilet paper!
I challenge Peter Obi to move from importing to manufacturing, to show that he is fully committed to the economic growth of Nigeria.
