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.
