Abia state governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, made a visit to the Internally Displaced People's camp, in Malkohi, Adamawa state, over the weekend as he attended the marriage ceremony of, son of his colleague, Governor Bindo Jibrilla.

Ikpeazu stated that he was used to Yola, during his days as an undergraduate at the University of Maiduguri, Borno State. He also promised to contribute to the upkeep of the IDPs, some of whom are of South East origin.

Speaking with newsmen after the visit, the Governor of Abia State recounted his undergraduate days memories of the North East region.

"I am in Adamawa State to felicitate with my colleague, Governor Bindo whose son is getting married.

"As someone who went to Borno State at the age of 16 as an undergraduate, I understand what Maiduguri and Borno State used to be and what it has become now, owing to the terrorist activities of Boko Haram.

"When I was told that some displaced persons from Borno State are kept here in Malkohi IDP Centre, I decided to come to see them."

Dr Ikpeazu lamented the suffering of innocent Nigerians as a result of the "needless insurgency and acts of terrorism that have rendered Nigerians homeless in their own country". He expressed confidence that Nigerian security forces will fully restore peace and stability to the affected areas.

This visit is unnecessary and adds no PR mileage for the governor.
