Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, on Saturday, December 30, visited internally displaced persons in Bokkos and Barkin-ladi local government areas of Plateau State, where armed bandits attacked on Christmas Eve.
Accompanied by state party officials, Obi pledged a donation of five million naira to each of the affected local government areas, providing support to those currently residing there.
He expressed shock and denounced the attacks that resulted in the loss of life and property, emphasising that the government must fulfill its obligation to safeguard people and property.
Obi raised the alarm about the amount of Nigerians who are fleeing their country as displaced people, calling it intolerable and stating that the government need to do something.
Over 190 people were killed on Christmas Eve when gunmen broke into over 15 settlements in the state’s Barkin-Ladi and Bokkos Local Government Areas.
