“Anything we can do to help our brothers return home , we will do.”
Patrice said: “Our visit was instructed by President Paul Biya, who sent us to visit our refugees here since you host about 62 per cent of the Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria.
“We appreciate your hospitality to our people and we would also like to have our governor visit you. We are proposing them to visit Obudu because Obudu is very close to some areas where we have refugees.”
