Ahead of the planned protests across the country, the FCT Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nezam Wike, on Saturday, held an interactive town hall meeting with residents as part of the peace-building process in the Federal Capital Territory.
Addressing the residents during the meeting, the Minister said it was organized to provide an avenue for dialogue with various stakeholders and to allow them to air their grievances, rather than taking to the streets to protest against the government.
The Minister said protests would not solve any problem but would rather create an opportunity for hooligans to take advantage of the situation to foment trouble.
He warned that the FCT Administration will not allow any protest that is geared towards destruction or to overthrow the government and cautioned residents against aligning with those he described as faceless protesters.
The Minister acknowledged that FCT residents have the constitutional right to protest, but cautioned that such protests must be done within the ambit of the law.
