Wike is incompetent and unfit to handle a sensitive place like a Federal capital.

A state of emergency should be declared in Abuja to save lives and properties of Nigerians.

We need to declare a state of emergency in Abuja immediately

Nyesom Wike is not able to provide security to the lives of Abuja Residents.

Tinubu will announce in a broadcast tonight, the new FCT

In Person of Rtd General Joe Blow....who will oversee the FCT for the next 6 months.

The senate and house of rep will carry out an AYE and NAY votes first thing on Monday morning.

Akpabio will announce that the AYE's have it.Without showing a 2/3 Quorum or showing who voted or who abstained.

This is about the 20th major kidnapping in Abuja, in less than 2 weeks, the seat of federal might, and a military personnel for that matter.

This is unacceptable and a declaration of war against the federation. Military personnel are strategic assets to the nation as such, these acts cannot be allowed to stand.

I fully that BAT declare a state of emergency in the FCT and appoint a 'sole '.

I concur! Declare SoE immediately, afterall, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. Even incidents happening in the FCT and Rivers, when compared, FCT is more volatile and without safety of lives and properties

See how dry this thread is, even struggling to finish one page all because it is not south east or south south or has nothing to do with Igbos but shows the failure of both Wike and Tinubu
