Abuja, Nigeria
Thousands of indigenes of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and civil society groups, on Wednesday, held a massive protest calling for the resignation of Nyesom Wike as Minister of the FCT.
The protesters, who stormed the National Assembly complex, said the Wike’s administration was incompetent and lacked vision for the FCT.
Speaking for the protesters, Adamu Kabir Matazu, a convener of a civil society, Network of Civil Societies for Economic Sustainability, said Wike should also be probed over his policies on land allocation in the FCT.
He said, “We stand united to express our concern over the direction of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the watch of Nyesom Wike. It’s abysmal and disturbing for the FCT to become an epicentre of controversy due to the misguided actions of Wike, which not only undermine President Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda but also cast a shadow on the credibility of the federal government.
“We are here today to demand the immediate resignation, investigation and prosecution of Nyesom Wike as Minister of the FCT due to his inefficiency in a government that promises to renew the Hope of Nigerians”.
