JOS- Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has lamented the prolonged killings and displacement of thousands of Nigerians in Plateau State, saying the continued existence of internally displaced persons (IDP) camps underscores the need for the government to do more to secure citizens and facilitate their safe return home.
Obi spoke when he visited Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State to sympathise with persons affected by insecurity, stressing that his visit was not politically motivated but driven by concern over the plight of Nigerians forced from their homes.
He called on the Federal Government to urgently address the killings and kidnappings contributing to the displacement of communities across the country, particularly in Plateau and Benue states.
“As long as you are in an IDP camp, Nigeria is in an IDP camp. When you go home, Nigeria is at home. You are not supposed to be here,” Obi said.
