The Presidency said the hunger protest in Abuja turned from peaceful to chaos because hoodlums infiltrated the demostration.
Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Community Engagement (North Central), Abiodun Essiet, said this as she launched an online situation report for residents of North Central states to give eyewitness accounts of the ongoing protests in their locations.
Abiodun Essiet said her visit to Nyanya, Karu, Orozo and Karishi informed her statement that hoodlums infiltrated the Abuja protest. She added that no protest was held in Kogi, Kwara and Benue State.
Essiet disclosed this on Saturday, on her X handle, as the #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria protest enters day three.
She wrote, “Today, in Zone A, AMAC (Nyanya, Karu, Orozo, and Karishi ) Abuja, FCT to monitor the situation of things and engage community leaders and police. People are back to their normal daily activities.
Since day one of the protests, My office launched a situation room online for volunteers across North Central to report on ground situations. Kogi, Kwara, Benue have been peaceful no protest. Jos had a peaceful protest. Protest in Abuja was infiltrated by hoodlums.”
