Tinubu told to sack Wike with immediate effect

Hundreds of indigenes of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, in conjunction with civil society groups, have called on President Bola Tinubu to sack the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

The protesters stormed the National Assembly Complex in their hundreds, stating that Wike's administration was incompetent and without vision.

Adamu Kabir Matazu, the convener of a civil society group, Network of Civil Societies for Economic Sustainability, spoke on behalf of the protesters and alleged that the minister should be probed over policies on the allocation of land in the FCT.

Matazu alleged that the FCT had become the centre of controversy as a result of the misguided action of Wike, which undermined the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu and also cast a shadow on the federal government's credibility.

Why FCT indigenes want Tinubu to sack Wike

His statement reads in part: “We are here today to demand the immediate resignation, investigation and prosecution of Nyesom Wike as Minister of the FCT due to his inefficiency in a government that promises to renew the Hope of Nigerians.

“A government that wishes to give hope to its citizens must be run by men who possess required qualities of a leader."
