Protest: You were nowhere to be found – Okai mocks Wike

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kogi State, Austin Okai, has mocked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike over the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.

Okai said Wike was nowhere to be found as protesters, whom he refered to as Gen Z, stormed Asokoro area of the FCT.

He noted that the protesters moved gallantly despite being tear-gased by security agents.

Posting on X, the 2023 PDP candidate for the Federal House of Representative election for Dekina/Bassa in Kogi State, accused the Police of causing chaos.

He wrote: “Gen Z stormed Asokoro Wike no where to be found. Moving gallantly inside the TEARGAS as aggrieved citizens.

“This is evident that Police caused the anarchy, chaos and violence #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.”

Protesters had barricaded the Jikweyi-Kurudu- Karshi axis of the FCT by burning tyres on the road on Wednesday.

Some uniformed personnel stationed at the district Police station along Kurudu, directly opposite the Post Service Housing Estate, were seen on red alert with their tear gas canisters handy.
