Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, August 1, called on people protesting against President Bola Tinubu’s administration (#EndBadGovernance protesters) to embrace dialogue.
According to the Vanguard Newspaper. Wike said the government is ready to listen and also walk them through some governance issues that they may not have been privy to.
Commending protesters in the FCT for being nonviolent, Wike urged them to continue to resist those who wanted to destroy the nation. He said Abuja as the nation’s capital remained a precious asset to the country, noting that if the FCT is destroyed, it will have negative consequences on the entire country.
Wike said: “Let me take this opportunity to commend the people, the youths of Abuja for not being v-olent. We have said severally that it is better to dialogue with the government and keep the peace. He who makes peace will at the end of the day enjoy the dividends of peace. I still want to talk to our people that we are still ready to sit down and dialogue with them and let them know things that they may not know because information is power. I commend the protesters in Abuja who have refused to be v+olent.”
