The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has addressed rumours about his health that recently circulated on social media. Reports had claimed that Wike collapsed during an event in Abuja and was flown out of the country for treatment. These claims quickly spread, raising concerns among the public.
However, just two days later, Wike appeared in public during the Sallah homage to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. He looked energetic, spoke with confidence, and gave no sign of any health issue, putting the rumours to rest.
His media aide, Lere Olayinka, also dismissed the claims as completely false, insisting there was no truth to them at all.
During the visit, Wike took the opportunity to restate his strong commitment to President Tinubu’s goals, especially regarding improvements in infrastructure and development across the FCT. In recent months, he has remained visible and active in the capital, pushing forward with efforts to restore order, boost revenue, and carry out key projects.
His public appearances and continued leadership have reassured many that he is healthy, fully in charge, and focused on his responsibilities.
