Popular social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has staged a protest at the entrance of the residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, in Abuja.
The protest follows Wike’s announcement of plans to withhold 10 per cent of the statutory allocation to area councils due to their failure to implement the new minimum wage for primary school teachers, an issue which has led to an ongoing strike.
On Monday, however, VDM gathered school children dressed in uniforms and conducted a class in which he taught them the letters of the alphabet.
“S for Suegbe, T for Tinubu, W for Wike,” VDM called out, while the children repeated.
According to him, Wike’s gate would henceforth serve as the pupils’ new classroom.
In other news, socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP has urged President Bola Tinubu to urgently refer the situation in Benue and other states to the International Criminal Court, ICC, for the court to exercise its jurisdiction over the violeence and unlawful killings and other serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in the state.
SERAP says referring the Benue situation to the International Criminal Court, ICC, would demonstrate Tinubu’s commitment to combating human rights crisis in the state.
