Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has dared Nyesom Wike, Minister of the FCT, for saying that Abuja is not available for protest on August 1.
Sowore in a post on his X handle on Friday said the proposed nationwide protests will start from Abuja.
He said: “It is starting from and in Abuja!”
Sowore’s statement comes after Wike said that August 1 had been set aside for the chairmen of the six Area Councils of the FCT to give out certificates of recognition to their traditional rulers.
The Minister gave the warning while briefing journalists on the outcome of the FCT Security Council meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
Arogidigba Global Journal reports that some Nigerians are mobilising for nationwide protest slated for August 1 to August 10, 2024.
Tagged #EndBadGovernace, organisers of the protest have lamented about widespread hunger and inflation in the country.
