Gbagyi community members in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja yesterday staged a peaceful protest in front of the National Assembly expressing their disappointment at the non inclusion of an Abuja indigine in the ministerial list. Dressed in their traditional attire, the protesters called on President Buhari to have a rethink and include them in government appointments.

"We are here to say we have been marginalized beyond what we can bear. We can not sit down and people come from all over the country to rule us as ministers. So we should have a minister like every other state. Also, we need a second tier government that will cater for the needs of the indigenes. Why we are here is because we don’t have our own House of Assembly. The National Assembly is our House of Assembly. It should not be. How can an Abaji resident reach Ask Rock Villa to complain. We should have a government that is closer to us, which is for the people and by the people. If our parents have endured this suffering for 39 years, we younger generation are saying no,” ” the leader of the group, Ezekiel Balatu, said

Eiyaa

If they were Fulanis, They would have been included, but unfortunately, They are among the "the willing tools" Ahmadu Bello talked about in his infamous speech.

Good move...

Let the protest be intensify.

These gwari{or na gbagyi} ways are different sha?? Wetin concern leaves?

Thought bearing loads with their necks was the height of their pecularity..

Eel ooh eel

They should be given Minister for forestry.
Their representative will only be asked to take a bow and go when he appear like that before the senate.

lol.i guess they were all on drugs?!

please they should be included. every body should be carried along. if the people of niger delta can claim ownership of the oil and gas in their region and the south west people can claim ownership of lagos so also the natives of abuja should be given proper recognition.

Most are mad, these are Roaming.

Traditional attire indeed

Everything in Nigeria is a sham, there will always be protest by one group or the other every year about something Nigeria forgot to take care of from the get go.

A fcking patch patch nation that patches everything, even roads.

Of course they should be included. In real term, the Gwari of Abuja are becoming one of the most marginalised set of people in Nigeria.

Unfair

Traditional attire? Marriage go cheap for that place

Sure blow go dey after the protest, I just hope say dey carry CD
