The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, have landed in Makurdi, Benue State, for a Town Hall meeting.
The duo arrived in Makurdi, the state capital, on Wednesday with the crowd chanting their names.
They were said to have arrived in Benue for a double engagement: a humanitarian visit to Yelewata and a town hall meeting in Makurdi.
According to reports, at Yelewata, in Guma Local Government Area, Obi is expected to lay a wreath at the cenotaph erected in memory of the victims of the June 2025 massacre and commiserate with their families.
Recall that the attack claimed more than 200 lives and displaced many residents.
The NDC governorship candidate in Benue, Professor Terhemba Shija, had earlier disclosed the visit at a press conference in Makurdi on Tuesday, when he said Obi would meet relatives of the victims but would not visit any government facility.
Shija said the town hall is expected to draw traditional rulers, civil society organisations, students, women, youths, labour unions and other residents.
