In an effort to ensure it did not escalate into a violence, more trucks of soldiers were deployed to bring the situation under control in order to reopen the road.

Regardless, the defiant protesters forced their way through the Karu Bridge and marched towards Kugbo towards Abuja city centre.

In the meantime, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has again called on those protesting against the President Bola Tinubu administration to come for dialogue, saying the government was ready to listen to and walk them through some governance issues that they might not have been privy to.

If only majority of Nigerians vote the best candidates during elections, without ethnic bais, just the way detribalized FCT-Abuja votes always reflects, we would not be where we are today. Vote only the best amongst the candidates.

•Why do you think former president Buhari never won in Abuja? Even in polling units around the villa, he couldn't win both in 2015 and in 2019 as incumbent.
• Why do you think a Bola Tinubu could not get as little as 25% of votes across FCT in 2023. Even, the villa he currently occupies, he couldn't win at the polling unit there. They simply manipulated some election results from other parts of the country, thanks to selfish people like Wike of Rivers, Ortom of Benue, Sule of Nasarawa, even Sanwo-Olu of Lagos were he came second, etc.
He simply can't deceive the enlightened people in FCT, as majority don't vote individuals based on ethnic, tribal, or religious sentiments.
The FCT-Abuja residents are just too woke for any chalatant to manipulate with campaign shenanigans.

Once another elections year comes again, some parts of Nigeria become senseless, and get easily deceived by politicians to mortgage their future yet again.
The cyclical movement continues, and this in turn stagnates the progress of a blessed country like Nigeria.

When will Nigeria 🇳🇬 be blessed with true leadership?

Wike has always been a man of the people, but this protest just shows how deep the frustration runs.

However, it's crucial to listen to the voices of the citizens. A true leader knows when to rally the troops and when to step back and reflect.

I believe Wike can turn this around, he’s got the vision and the tenacity to transform Abuja. Let’s hope he channels this energy into solutions that uplift everyone.
