Nigerian DJ, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has issued a bold challenge to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike and Niger Delta activist Asari Dokubo, urging them to address the root causes of hunger instead of resorting to threats.

The challenge comes in the wake of nationwide protests titled “10 Days of Rage” under the hashtag #EndBadGovernance, aimed at highlighting the economic challenges facing Nigeria.
Before the protests began, Asari Dokubo warned against bringing the demonstrations to the Niger Delta region, arguing that the protesters’ agenda did not address local issues.

“I and all those who believe in me and those of you who are committed to the interest of the Niger Delta, we are not going to be part of any protest. It is as clear as that,” he stated firmly. “If anybody has the right to protest, I also have the right to resist protest. Where your right stops, that is where my right begins.”
Similarly, Nyesom Wike, during a security council meeting in Abuja, raised concerns about potential property damage by protesters based on intelligence reports.

He also mentioned the identification of a senator suspected of sponsoring the protests.
In response to these statements, DJ Switch took to social media to directly challenge Wike and Asari Dokubo to confront the protesters face-to-face.
“The only thing that can stop HUNGER is FOOD! Not guns, not teargas, not threats from fat globs like Asari Dokubo and chicken feed Wike! I wonder why they are hiding now…. Come outside let them eat you raw!” DJ Switch posted on her X handle.
Earlier on August 1, she had encouraged Nigerians to view the hunger protests as a critical opportunity to demand better governance in the country.
