Hardship: Protesters storm Wike’s residence in Rivers
Protesters on Tuesday in Rivers State staged a large demonstration at the Port Harcourt residence of Nyesom Wike, the former Governor of the state and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In a viral video, the protesters could be seen chanting and carrying placards with various inscriptions.
Most of the protesters were seen sitting on the paved road in front of Wike’s mansion, which was heavily guarded by uniformed police officers.
Recall that the FCT Minister, who has publicly opposed the nationwide protests, also tried to prevent the demonstration in the capital.
Speaking during a ministerial engagement with FCT youths from Abuja South Federal Constituency, in Kwali Area Council of the FCT on Monday, July 29, Wike said, ”Youths and other stakeholders in Bwari and Gwagwalada Area Councils will also be engaged on the same issue in the coming days.”
