A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has dared the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike over the planned nationwide strike.
Recall that Wike had stated that the protest would not hold in Abuja.
He said that August 1 had been set aside for the chairmen of the six Area Councils of the FCT to give out certificates of recognition to their traditional rulers.
The Minister gave the warning while briefing journalists on the outcome of the FCT Security Council meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
Reacting via his X handle on Friday, Sowore stated that the protest would start from Abuja.
He shared a news article of the minister declaring that there would be no protest in the territory, and wrote, “It is starting from and in Abuja!.”
Naija News reports that some Nigerians are mobilising for the nationwide protest slated for August 1 to August 10, 2024.
