The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticized the manner of reception organized for the visit of President Bola Tinubu to Benue State over the recent massacre in the state.
Peter Obi said that instead of a solemn event to mourn the victims of the violence, which resulted in the death of several Nigerians, “the President arrived not in mourning cloth but in celebratory agbada attire, like it was an occasion for joy.”
The former Anambra State Governor lamented that the Wednesday visit failed to reflect a spirit of deep national mourning and lacked compassion for the families affected by the massacre in Benue and the flooding in Niger State.
