Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday. The visit occurred amid nationwide protests against economic hardship and bad governance, which began on August 1.
Wike arrived at the villa around 4 pm in his black Toyota Prado Sports Utility Vehicle and was immediately ushered into the President’s office. The specific details of their discussion remain undisclosed, but it is likely related to the ongoing protests in the nation’s capital.
The protests in Abuja have seen massive crowds demonstrating in the central business district and suburbs, with security officials deploying teargas to disperse the protesters. A heavy security presence was noted at Eagles Square, the proposed rendezvous point for the protest, with armed personnel barricading the routes leading to the Presidential Villa.
