One of the organisers of the planned protest against hunger and hardship, the Take It Back Movement, has vowed to go ahead with the protest at Eagle Square in Abuja, whether or not the government approves usage of the venue.
The Mobilization Director of the organisation, Damilare Adenola, who was speaking on the Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had been written to for permission.
The youth leader had signed a letter addressed to the minister, seeking use of the facility.
The letter was dated July 26, 2024, and was broadcast on social media platforms.
However, as of Saturday, the minister said he hadn’t received the letter.
“Who are these people who want to protest? They have applied to me to grant Eagle Square. Do you apply to me through social media?”
“You will write a letter to the minister. I will see you; who are you; what do you want to do? How many days do you want to spend? How much will you pay?
“You must apply properly. You must pay what we call security cost so that if there is any damage to the facility, we will take from that security cost and repair it.
