Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed deep concern over the recent killings in Benue, Plateau, and other parts of Nigeria. 


The former governor of Anambra State, in a post on X, commiserated with the people of Benue State, describing the situation as "tragic and senseless".


He commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oloyede, for relocating to the state, calling it a welcome shift towards prioritizing the security of the region, praying that the move would bring lasting change and meaningful justice to the people of Benue.


Obi emphasized that the security and survival of the people must be the top priority of any government that claims to be responsible and compassionate, Ob.


He, therefore, called for urgent, deliberate, and comprehensive action to address the security challenges in the region, standing in solidarity with grieving families in Benue and across Nigeria.
