Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi on Sunday, April 13 visited Plateau State to offer condolences after a series of horrific attacks in the Bokkos area left hundreds displaced and several dead.
Obi visited with victims and internally displaced people (IDPs), particularly children impacted by the violence, in Bokkos after meeting with Governor Caleb Mutfwang in Jos.
Peter Obi said “What has happened in these communities is very saddening and utterly unacceptable. Nigerians should not be killed or forced to flee their homes when we are not at war. Every life is precious,”
In addition to expressing sorrow over the deaths, Obi praised the work of the Obidient Movement, which had previously provided a borehole to supply clean water to the camp and surrounding community, and donated ₦7.5 million to support the provision of basic facilities for displaced children, their continued education, and the general needs of the IDP community.
“My heart is with the people of Bokkos, the displaced children, women, and entire communities during this difficult time,”
