Peter Obi Urges Leaders to Experience Nigerian Hardships

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), called on President Bola Tinubu and other political office holders to spend their holidays in Nigeria to gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable citizens. This statement followed Obi's two-day visit to Sokoto State, where he met with various groups and visited the Ramin Kura Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp.

He reported that over 1,000 displaced persons reside in the camp, living in makeshift structures and thatched rooms, with some families sharing rooms with up to 10 people. The camp lacks adequate toilet facilities, a primary healthcare center, and a basic school for children.

Obi emphasized the need for political leaders to experience the realities of those affected by insecurity and displacement. He urged the government to improve living conditions for displaced Nigerians and to address the security issues that have forced them from their homes.

This visit marked Obi's 12th visit to an IDP camp across Nigeria.
