According to him, the displaced persons were among Nigerians who had been forced to flee their ancestral communities and livelihoods because of insecurity.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has lamented the displacement of over 45,000 residents and the reported sacking of more than 20 communities by terrorists in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Obi, who is seeking to contest the 2027 presidential election, disclosed this on Wednesday while recounting his visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Mangu housing more than 500 displaced Nigerians.
According to him, the displaced persons were among Nigerians who had been forced to flee their ancestral communities and livelihoods because of insecurity.
The former Anambra State governor said he visited the camp on Tuesday, September 8, after his delegation was prevented from proceeding to Yelwata in Benue State to visit displaced persons and families affected by recent attacks.
