Kingibe Critiques Wike's Curfew Ahead of FCT Elections
Kingibe, a senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has publicly criticized the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, during an interview on Channel Television. She expressed her disapproval of Wike's autocratic approach, particularly regarding the curfew he imposed on residents ahead of the area council elections scheduled for Saturday.
Wike ordered a restriction of movement from 8 PM on Friday to 6 AM on Saturday, declaring Friday a work-free day to allow residents to prepare for the elections. Kingibe argued that the curfew unnecessarily curtails the freedoms of FCT residents and emphasized that the democratic society should not impose such restrictions.
She lamented that despite her written communications to the minister, she had not received a positive response regarding the delivery of democratic dividends to the residents of the FCT.
