Nasarawa stare governor stoned at IDP camp

Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura may have encountered his
worst political embarrassment from subjects when internally displaced persons (IDPs) reportedly stoned him at Agwatashi in Obi council area of Nasarawa State.
During a visit yesterday to the camp to distribute relief materials in the wake of renewed attacks on over 200 Tiv communities in the southern senatorial zone, the governor was reportedly chased away by angry youths.
The youths, who allegedly chanted ‘go back with your relief materials, our people are lying dead in the bushes’, reportedly said Al-Makura must leave the camp because “there was no need bringing any materials when killing continues in villages.”
The governor, who was said to have narrowly escaped the stones thrown at his convoy, allegedly regretted the harsh reaction meted on him when he visited the camp to sympathise with the inmates.
