On August 6, 2024, tensions escalated in Port Harcourt as protesters advocating for the #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria movement marched to the residence of Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. The demonstration, driven by frustrations over bad governance and the rising cost of living, saw a large number of protesters carrying placards and chanting slogans outside Wike’s heavily guarded house.
In a widely circulated video, the protesters can be seen confronting armed security personnel stationed at the residence. This movement, which began on social media on August 1, has rapidly gained momentum, with many Nigerians expressing their dissatisfaction with the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Key issues driving the protests include fuel price hikes, increased electricity tariffs, and widespread corruption. The protesters demand significant reforms to improve economic conditions and governance in Nigeria.
