Peter Obi Arrives Jos for Solidarity Visit to Mangu Attack Victims

The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has arrived in Jos, Plateau State, ahead of his planned solidarity visit to communities in Mangu Local Government Area affected by recent deadly attacks.

Obi arrived at the Yakubu Gowon Airport in Heipang on Tuesday, where he was received by Plateau State executives and other leaders of the NDC.

The former Anambra State governor is expected to proceed to Mangu to meet victims, survivors, affected families, community leaders and other stakeholders.

The visit is aimed at expressing solidarity with residents affected by the attacks, which reportedly claimed several lives, left others injured and resulted in the destruction of property.

Obi is expected to commiserate with families who lost loved ones and offer words of encouragement to residents still dealing with the aftermath of the violence.

He is also expected to listen to firsthand accounts from survivors and community leaders on the circumstances surrounding the attacks and the security challenges confronting communities in the area.

Party supporters and other stakeholders gathered at the airport to welcome the NDC presidential candidate ahead of his movement to Mangu.

The visit is expected to draw renewed attention to the plight of communities affected by recurring attacks in parts of Plateau State and the concerns over the safety of residents and their property.

Obi is also expected to call for improved security and sustained support for victims of violent attacks, while urging relevant authorities to take decisive measures to prevent further killings and displacement in vulnerable communities.
