SIMPLE QUESTION WHY ARE THEY PROTESTING? YOU STARTED TALKING OFF

Nigerians can now understand that we are all not equal before the police and the APC government, while others are forced to demonstrate in the national stadium others can demonstrate anywhere and intimidates the law enforcement officers. Where is fct minister, where is the commissioner of police, where are the indigens of Abuja that played a role in the decision to stop the August demonstration in Abuja.
