Obi Donates N10 Million Educational Support Fund For Yelwata Children, Promises To Improve Security
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has assured victims and survivors of the 2025 Yelwata attacks of their safety if elected as President.
He said that no Nigerian community will be massacred as it happened to Yelwata.
The former Anambra governor stated this during his visit to Yelwata community in Benue State to meet victims of the attacks, which claimed 271 lives, following an earlier access denial on April 14, 2025, and the youth blockages of Mister Obi’s convoy on September 8, 2026.
Obi also donated ₦10 million in educational support and a borehole to address water scarcity.
After addressing the crowd, he proceeded to lay a wreath at the 14-foot memorial wall in honour of the 271 victims killed on June 13, 2025.
He moved to the town hall meeting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, where Obi was received along with his entourage.
The NDC Presidential candidate pledged to create business opportunities for young Nigerians and provide security for those in agriculture while ending the culture of connections before securing jobs in the public sector.
