In 2027, former Anambra State governor Peter Obi was received by the Gbong Gwom of Jos and Da Jacob Buba, traditional rulers in Plateau State, where he called for urgent action to tackle the region’s mounting security challenges.
The meeting took place in the north‑central state of Plateau, a region that has long been a crossroads of Nigeria’s diverse ethnic communities. Obi was welcomed by the Gbong Gwom, the paramount ruler of Jos, and by Da Jacob Buba, a senior traditional leader in the area.
During the encounter, Obi said that the security problems facing Plateau State required immediate attention. He urged both the state government and the federal authorities to step up efforts to curb violence and restore peace in the area.
Security concerns in Plateau have included sporadic clashes between communities and incidents of banditry, which have disrupted daily life and economic activity. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, has been working to address such challenges across its states.
Obi’s remarks came as part of a broader outreach to traditional authorities, highlighting the need for coordinated action between political leaders and local custodians of peace to safeguard the region’s stability.
