The Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, as part of his campaign to become Nigeria’s next president made a surprise visit to Biu Emirate, the Southern part of Borno State, making him the first Nigerian Presidential Candidate to do so.
There was wild jubilation and disbelief from the Southern Borno natives drawn from Chibok, Gwoza, Hawul, Askira Uba and the entire nine Local Government Areas who said they never imagined that a popular presidential candidate would think of them and even visit them. This comes as part of Obi’s presidential promises that he will be President for all Nigerians and consequently unite the country.
He said Borno has vast agricultural land and resources, which if properly harnessed could generate billions of naira annually.
