Eagle’s Square Showdown: Protesters vs. FCT Minister in High-Stakes Face-Off
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

As the nationwide protest approaches, tensions have escalated between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the organizers in Abuja. The organizers insist they will use Eagle’s Square regardless of the minister’s approval, arguing that the space is public property.

Request for Eagle’s Square

The Take It Back movement had formally requested the use of Eagle’s Square for their protest, scheduled from August 1 to 10, 2024. However, the minister claimed he had not received the letter and emphasized that proper application and security costs are required for the use of the facility. During a Town Hall Meeting at the Federal Capital Development Authority in Abuja, the minister indicated that the group had only applied through social media and television appearances.

Organizers’ Response

In a Channels Television interview on the Sunday Politics program, Adenola, a spokesperson for the movement, stated that the minister has no choice but to allow the use of the space for the protest. He attributed the delay in the letter’s delivery to bureaucratic inefficiencies and assured that the letter would reach the minister by Monday ahead of the protest scheduled for Thursday. Adenola asserted that Eagle Square is public property and criticized the minister’s demand for high fees from the protesting youths. He also explained that the movement account has been restricted by UBA bank on request of the DSS and efforts to restore the organization’s account have proven futile.

Implications

The conflict highlights the challenges of public administration, including delays and bureaucratic obstacles. With the protest set to begin on Thursday, it remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved. The central issue is whether the minister will deny access to the square despite being notified and continue to demand fees from protesters advocating for their rights. The resolution of this situation will determine the outcome of the planned nationwide protest.
