Peter Obi celebrates 2023 New Year with IDPs in Wassa camp, FCT

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, celebrated the 2023 New Year with a solidarity visit to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) assembled at the Wassa IDP camp in the Apo Resettlement Area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

At the Wassa IDP camp which accommodates over 6,000 displaced persons from the North-East and North-West, Obi promised to tackle insecurity in the country if he becomes president in 2023, and ensure that citizens return to their homes across the country.

Obi noted that he was not in the camp to campaign but to spend the first day of the New Year 2023 with the people and find out their condition of living. The LP presidential candidate decried the poor condition of the IDP camp.
Obi had stated: “Nigerians should not be displaced in their fatherland and be left to wallow in poverty;” he asserted that “if there are IDP camps in Nigeria, then, Nigeria itself is an IDP camp.” He reiterated his promise to deal decisively with insecurity if elected President of Nigeria in 2023.
