Wike Visits Tinubu Amid Nationwide Protests

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

According to Punch, the minister arrived at the presidential villa around 4 pm.

Wike, who arrived in his black Toyota Prado Sports Utility Vehicle, was ushered into the President’s office immediately.

Though the topic of their discussion remains unknown, it is most likely connected to the ongoing protests in the nation’s capital.

However, Wike did not brief journalists after the meeting.

Amid the nationwide protests which began on August 1, the FCT saw massive demonstrations from crowds who thronged the central business district and suburbs as security officials fired teargas to disperse protesters.

There was a heavy security presence at Eagles Square, the proposed rendezvous point for the protest as armed personnel barricaded the route leading to the Presidential Villa.

Nigerians are protesting the rising cost of living, organisers of the protest say.
