Protesters Tuesday marched on the Port Harcourt residence of former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.
Wike who is the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory was not available when the protesters arrived. But they met a heavy detachment of police officers on guard.
The protesters could be seen in a viral video online carrying placards and chanting songs of protest.
Wike had voiced his opposition to the nationwide demonstrations against the rising cost of love living and bad governance.
He said: “Don’t be angry and don’t join the protest, because protest will not solve the problem. The government is aware of hunger and that is why it is working hard to find a lasting solution to the problem.
“I know that hunger makes people lose patience. Please be patient. That is all I am asking. This hunger will be reduced very soon.
“Those asking you to protest are lying to you. It is not for the interest of Nigeria and it is not for your interest.”
