No protest will happen in Abuja if… — Wike
Wike reiterated his earlier stance against the protest, saying, “For those who want to protest on the 1st, the FCT is not available for such protests,” and urged residents to refrain from participating in such actions.
According to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), he has not yet received an official letter asking to utilize Eagle Square for a planned demonstration that is set to start on August 1.
Wike made this declaration on Saturday in advance of the #EndBadGovernance demonstration during a town hall gathering with important FCT stakeholders.
He made it clear that no official channels had been used to contact his office about using Eagle Square for the protest.
He counseled the organizers to adhere to the correct protocols and refrain from depending exclusively on social media for communication.
