The #EndBadGovernance protesters in Rivers State on Tuesday marched in large numbers to the Port Harcourt residence of the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
In a viral video, the protesters could be seen chanting and carrying placards with various inscriptions.
The majority of the protesters were seen sitting on the tarred road in front of Wike’s mansion which was heavily guarded by uniformed police officers.
The FCT Minister, who has openly opposed the nationwide protests, also made efforts to stop the demonstration in the nation’s capital.
Wike, while speaking in Abuja after he inspected the ongoing construction of a 5-kilometre access road to Saburi 1 and 2 in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), had earlier urged the FCT resident not to join the protest, saying the President was aware of the problem and working hard to address the challenges.
