On Thursday, August 1, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), urged those demonstrating against President Bola Tinubu’s administration to engage in constructive dialogue.
Wike expressed that the government is open to listening and is prepared to guide them on various governance matters they might not have been aware of.
He said: “Let me take this opportunity to commend the people, the youths of Abuja for not being violent. 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 violent.”
