Abuja original inhabitants under the platform of the Abuja Aborigines Network (AAN) have pulled out of the planned nationwide protests against economic hardship currently rocking the country slated for 1st August.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja over the weekend, President of the 6000-member strong Network, Dr Donald Amagbo, said the group will seek dialogue instead of protests.

Amagbo who expressed total condemnation of the planned protests on behalf of thousands of his Network members, added that they were ready to resist the protest because it was calculated to cause anarchy and make Nigeria ungovernable.

Pledging to support relevant agencies in the maintenance of peace and order in Abuja during the protest period, Amagbo, hailed Wike for introducing reforms in the FCT Administration and for transforming the nation’s capital in less than 12 months.

“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 hijack the protests.

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