MrEverest: If you have sense then you would have known that Ortom and majority of Benue people are supporting Obi. Do you expect victims of terrorism to support same people that sponsored the attack against them?
No normal Christian from the North will ever support APC and their evil presidential candidates.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi on Sunday, visited internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the Abagana camp in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, to celebrate the 2022 Christmas Day with them and show solidarity with their five years of prolonged displacement by suspected herdsmen. Addressing the IDPs, Obi encouraged them to be patient and look to God for intervention, noting that he shared in their pains and losses, hence his decision to join them on a day like Christmas when many families share love.
He also challenged the Federal Government to resettle the IDPs so that they will move on with their lives. Earlier, Governor Samuel Ortom, who received Obi at the Government House, said many presidential candidates have visited Benue but had no empathy to visit the over eight IDP camps to share in their pain.
Ortom said a man like Obi, if trusted with the mandate of Nigerians in 2023, will change the fortunes of the nation.
After the address, Obi headed to the Abagana IDP camp to celebrate Christmas with IDPs who have been living there since 2018. Some of the IDPs shared their joy and asked for their immediate resettlement.
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), on Sunday celebrated Christmas at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Abagana, Makurdi.
Speaking with the IDPs, Obi said that their plight would not continue, adding that they should have hope that they would soon go back to their ancestral homes.
What you are passing through is what Nigeria is passing through.
“As long as you remain here in the camp, Nigeria is not doing well. It is my desire that you will like this camp and continue to do what you know best to do which is farming. “As long as you remain in IDP camp, Nigeria is in IDP,” he said.
Obi expressed joy at celebrating Christmas with the Displaced Persons, saying that he was unhappy to see fellow Nigerians camped against their wishes in IDP camps.
“I cannot celebrate while you are in camps hence the decision to celebrate with you,” he said.
Earlier, Dr Emmanuel Shior, the Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), said that Obi was the only presidential candidate that visited and celebrated Christmas with the IDPs.
Shior said that the state 12 has officially recognised IDPs camps and seven unofficial camps hosting thousands of Displaced Persons.
He said that Obi had visited to encourage and give hope to the over 10,000 IDPs in Abagana IDPs camp, stating that he donated N3 million to them.
