Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, has dismissed allegations that he denied the African Democratic Congress, ADC, access to the Eagle Square in Abuja.
Wike was speaking on Monday in Abuja during project inspection tour.
He described claims of politically motivated access denial to Eagle Square as “unfounded” and described them as “attempts to gain public sympathy.”
According to him, no formal application had been received from any of the parties raising the alarm.
He stressed that Eagle Square remains open to all groups so long as they follow due process and pay the required fees.
“We do not deny access; these events actually generate revenue for the government.
“Who denied them? I am not aware of any such development, and I don’t even know which party you are referring to.
“If it is the African Democratic Congress ADC, such claims are their usual attempt to gain public sympathy,” Wike said.
