In an emotional display of solidarity and compassion, former presidential candidate Peter Obi visited Plateau State on Sunday, April 13, to offer condolences to victims of the recent deadly attacks in the Bokkos area. The attacks, which left several people dead and hundreds displaced, have sent shockwaves throughout the state and the nation at large.
During his visit, Obi met with Governor Caleb Mutfwang in Jos, the state capital, before proceeding to Bokkos to interact with the victims and internally displaced persons (IDPs). The IDPs, including children, women, and men, have been forced to flee their homes due to the attacks and are currently living in camps.

Obi’s visit was marked by a deep sense of empathy and concern for the victims. “What has happened in these communities is very saddening and utterly unacceptable. Nigerians should not be killed or forced to flee their homes when we are not at war. Every life is precious,” he said, his words echoing the sentiments of many Nigerians who are increasingly concerned about the rising tide of violence and insecurity in the country.
In a gesture of goodwill and support, Obi donated ₦7.5 million to support the provision of basic facilities for displaced children, their ongoing education, and the general needs of the IDP community. He also commended the efforts of the Obidient Movement, which had earlier provided a borehole to supply clean water to the camp and surrounding community.
Obi’s words of condolence and support were heartfelt and sincere. “My heart is with the people of Bokkos, the displaced children, women, and entire communities during this difficult time,” he said, his voice filled with emotion. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting peace and healing efforts in the region, stating, “Now, more than ever, leadership and compassion are essential. I stand in solidarity with Plateau State.”
As Obi concluded his visit, he offered a message of hope and comfort to the victims. “May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace, and may the people find strength, comfort, and unity as they rebuild their lives,” he said, his words providing a sense of solace and reassurance to those who have been affected by the attacks.
The visit by Obi has been widely appreciated by the people of Plateau State, who see it as a demonstration of his commitment to the welfare and well-being of Nigerians. As the state and the nation at large grapple with the challenges of insecurity and violence, Obi’s visit serves as a reminder of the importance of leadership, compassion, and solidarity in times of crisis
