The Presidential candidate of Labour Party in the February, 25, 2023 general election, Peter Obi, celebrated his 62nd birthday anniversary at the Internally Displaced Persons IDP camps in Plateau State. He reportedly used the opportunity to commiserate with the Governor, Barr Caleb Mannaseh Mutfwang and people of Plateau State over the several attacks and killing of innocent residents of the state.
Peter Obi, who disclosed this in a post on his social media platform, while condoling with the government and people of the state, condemned the vicious attacks which according to him, are totally unacceptable.
The post reads thus, “In line with my earlier humble request for friends and well-wishers to spread the love today by visiting hospitals, schools and care homes, to mark my 62nd birthday, I visited Plateau State to commiserate with the Governor and the people over the recent widespread unfortunate killings in the State, which are totally unacceptable.
I visited Mangu Local Govt Area, where over 300 people including women and children, have been killed. I commiserated and condoled with them over the several attacks on them and the killings of their loved ones.
I was at Bungha Pilot School in Mangu, which is the biggest IDP Camp in the State, occupied by about 60 communities.
I made token support of N5 million with some bags of rice and also reassured them of our love and care. I equally explained to them that we are all in this together and that so long as we have some Nigerians living in IDP Camps, every Nigerian is living in IDP Camp.
I appreciated the Governor of Plateau State, Barr Caleb Mannaseh Mutfwang, for his warm reception, kind comments. I thanked him specially for the great efforts he has made so far with respect to the killings and terror attacks in the State, and for ensuring that the IDPs are well cared for. I commiserated with him over the killings in the State and encouraged him to continue to deliver good governance to the people.
I also thanked the traditional ruler Mishkaham Mwaghavul, HRH John Putmang Hirse, for the hospitality and assured the Mangu people that in the New Nigeria, their security and that of every Nigerian will be prioritized”.
