Hardship: Wike pleads protesters, "We're ready for dialogue."

 ABUJA: Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike has again invited those protesting against President Bola Tinubu's administration to come for dialogue, saying the government is ready to listen to them and walk them through some governance issues that they may not be aware of. He remarked on Thursday when presenting his office personnel to four newly appointed territorial leaders.

Wike praised protesters in the FCT for their peacefulness and urged them to continue resisting those who seek to ruin the country. He stated that Abuja, as the nation's capital, remained a valuable asset to the country, and that destroying the FCT would have severe effects for the entire country.
