Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike on Saturday said some people who lost elections want to overthrow the government through protests and other means.
He said this while speaking at a town hall meeting with FCT stakeholders organised by the FCT Administration on Saturday.
According to Wike, there are politicians who want to be in power at all cost, saying they are the one sponsoring the planned protest.
He said even on social media, they have applied to him to grant the Eagle Square for protest.
“Do you apply to me through social media? You will write to the office of the minister, I will see you, and ask you how many days do you want to spend? How much will you pay?
“There are people who lost elections, the only way they can be relevant is to overthrow the government in whichever way. We will not allow that.
“I have seen all kinds of threats that I will die tomorrow, I know I will die one day, so you do not need to remind me of that. If I die tomorrow, you are not the one that killed me, it is my time. I will die the day God says I will die,” he stated
Wike said if Abuja is working, Nigeria would work, saying when he came on board, so many people cried out that things were not moving, adding that but by the grace of God and with the support he had from President Tinubu there are changes.
“And we are committed to making more changes. When we came in, insecurity was so high. For the first time we went out to all the area councils, we spoke with the Chiefs, Muslim and Christian leaders, youths, women, and other stakeholders and we asked them what they want us to do, the government alone cannot do it.
“And with the support that you have given with the security agencies you can attest to the fact that the situation is different. We are not saying that we have brought insecurity to the end, nobody in this world, no country that there is no insecurity.
