Abuja Aborigines Kick Against Planned Protests, Seek Dialogue

Abuja original inhabitants under the aegies of the Abuja Aborigines Network, AAN, says dialogue should be embraced rather than shutting down the nation with protest.

President of the 6000-member strong Network, Dr. Donald Amagbo, stated this to newsmen in Abuja while reacting to the August 1st proposed nationwide protests against ‘bad governance’.

Dr Amagbo who expressed total condemnation over the planned protests on behalf of thousands of his Network members, said Tinubu should be given a little time to fix the challenges facing the nation.

He said the group members were ready to resist the protest in the FCT to avert what he described as calculated attempt to disrupt the peace of Abuja and the country at large.

Dr Amagbo who Pledged to support relevant agencies in the maintenance of peace and order in Abuja during the protest, lauded Tinubu for all the support he has given to Wike to initiate reforms that transformed the nation’s capital within one year in office.

“Yes, we also feel the pains but dialogue should be the best way out, therefore our members will resist the protest because we don’t want an unrest that will distract the FCT Minister from the good work he’s doing in the nation’s capital .

“We hereby condemn in totality and are ready to resist the planned protest designated to take place in some landmark cities in Nigeria, including Abuja.

“Our investigations have confirmed that the protest is aimed at causing anarchy and making Nigeria ungovernable as a failed state hence we (Abuja Aborigines Network) hereby pledge to support security agencies to fish out all undesirable elements that may wish to high-jack the protests”, Dr Amagbo said.
