PROTEST: I’M YET TO RECEIVE LETTER REQUESTING USE OF EAGLE SQUARE — WIKE
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has revealed that he has not yet received a formal letter requesting the use of Eagle Square for a planned protest scheduled to begin on August 1.
Wike made this known on Saturday during a town hall meeting with key stakeholders in the FCT, ahead of the #EndBadGovernance protest.
He claimed that his office has not been approached through official channels regarding the use of Eagle Square for the protest.
He, therefore, advised the organisers to avoid relying solely on social media to communicate and to follow the proper procedures.
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.
The town hall meeting was attended by notable stakeholders, including the FCT Minister of State, Mariya Mahmoud, area council chairmen, traditional rulers, religious leaders, representatives of political parties, and women and youth groups, among others.
