#EndBadGovernance Protesters Storm Wike’s House In Port Harcourt
A group of protesters affiliated with the #EndBadGovernance movement reportedly besieged the residence of former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
In a viral video shared on social media, the protesters were seen reciting the old Nigerian national anthem and blocking the entrance to Wike’s residence.
The protesters’ actions are believed to be a response to Wike’s perceived support for the current administration, which they accuse of perpetuating bad governance.

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s recent national broadcast addressing the protests and promising reforms, the protesters said their demands for improved governance and accountability remain unmet.
The President’s speech appears to have fallen on deaf ears, as the protesters continue to express their dissatisfaction with the government.
