FCT polls curfew: You must not always comment on every issue – Wike to Falana

‎Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has asked human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, not to always comment on every issue.

‎

‎Speaking to journalists on Sunday after meeting President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa, Wike urged Falana to verify and get his facts right before making comment on any issue.

‎

‎Falana had faulted Wike for declaring public holiday ahead of the just concluded Area Council Polls and imposition of curfew in the nation’s capital city.

‎

‎Reacting to Falana’s remark, Wike said, “With all due respect, Femi Falana must not always comment just because he wants to comment.

‎

‎“Comment on something you know about and have facts on. You can’t just wake up, and you hear somebody said this, and you can’t even verify before you make comments.

‎

‎“It was Mr President’s approval that movements should be restricted because of security report that people are trying to bring in hoodlums.

‎

‎“It’s not everything you must comment. And if you must comment, go and find out and know what actually happened.”
