Hundreds of residents thronged the streets of Makurdi, the Benue State capital, on Wednesday to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his one-day visit to the state.
Undeterred by the heavy morning rainfall, enthusiastic supporters, including youths, women, commercial motorcyclists (Okada riders), and All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful, lined the roads, waving and cheering as the presidential convoy made its way through the city.
Okada riders, waving APC flags and singing party songs in local dialects, followed the convoy closely as it headed to the Government House for a stakeholdersโ meeting.
President Tinubu is in Benue to sympathise with the state government and the people over the recent Yelewata attacks, which claimed the lives of more than 154 individuals.
Shortly after completing airport protocols, the president visited Benue State University, Makurdi, where he met with and condoled survivors of the tragic incident who are receiving medical care.
