Protest: I’m Yet To Get Letter For Usage Of Eagle Square — Wike Speaks

Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), claims he has not yet received a letter asking to use Eagle Square for a planned demonstration that is scheduled to begin on August 1.

Prior to the protests known as #EndBadGovernance, Wike addressed on Saturday at a town hall gathering with important stakeholders in the Federal Capital Territory.

He added that no letter asking to utilize Eagle Square for the scheduled demonstration had been delivered to his office.

The FCT minister said the protesters should not just make use of social media to send a message to his office. He advised them to rather pass through the appropriate channels.

Wike had earlier warned against the protest.

“For those who want to protest on the 1st, FCT is not available for such protests,” he said while urging residents to desist from embarking on such acts.

Stakeholders who attended the Saturday meeting included the FCT Minister (State) Mariya Mahmoud, area council chairmen, traditional rulers, religious bodies, representatives of political parties, and representatives of women and youth groups, among others.

Saturday’s meeting was to create a communication channel between the FCT administration and residents of the capital city to talk about their grievances with the present leadership and areas of possible solutions.
