The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has revealed his reason for going to Benue State.

He spoke just after thugs attacked his convoy as he was entering the state.

Speaking after the incident, Obi decried the state of Nigerian politics, clarifying that his presence in the state was strictly humanitarian rather than campaign-driven.

“I am in Benue today not for campaigns. I only wanted to go to a place where people lost their lives, to condole and show solidarity with them,” Obi stated.
