Protest won’t hold in Abuja, Tinubu is Working to end hardship says Wike

In a recent address to the public, Minister Nyesom Wike has declared that the planned protests against economic hardship scheduled for August 1st will not be permitted in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Wike emphasized that President Bola Tinubu is actively working to address the issues of hunger and hardship, and urged citizens to support the administration’s efforts instead of resorting to protests.

The announcement comes amidst widespread concerns over the rising cost of living and economic challenges faced by Nigerians. Wike, speaking at a town hall meeting in Abuja, highlighted the need for citizens to give the government more time to implement its policies and reforms.

“President Tinubu is working tirelessly to address the issues of hunger and hardship,” Wike stated. “Protest will not hold in Abuja. We should support the government’s efforts and give them a chance to make a difference.”

Tinubu Administration Urges Patience Amid Planned Protests

The planned protests, organized under the banner of “10 Days of Rage,” aim to draw attention to the economic challenges faced by Nigerians. However, Wike’s announcement has sparked a debate among citizens, with some expressing their disappointment and frustration over the decision to ban the protests.

“The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental aspect of democracy,” said human rights activist Femi Falana. “While it is important to support the government’s efforts, citizens should not be denied the opportunity to voice their concerns peacefully.”

Despite the ban on protests in Abuja, the organizers of the “10 Days of Rage” have vowed to continue their demonstrations in other parts of the country. They argue that the government’s policies have failed to address the economic challenges faced by Nigerians and that peaceful protests are a legitimate means of expressing their grievances.

As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how the Tinubu administration will address the concerns of its citizens and whether the planned protests will proceed as scheduled in other parts of the country.
