On Thursday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), denied the rumors that he collapsed last week. He called the reports false and said they were spread by people with no credibility who were trying to make political gains.
Wike made these comments after inspecting four ongoing projects in the FCT, including the International Conference Centre (ICC).
Rumors had been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) that Wike collapsed during an event in the FCT on Friday. The rumors also claimed that he was rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment. However, his media aide, Lere Olayinka, quickly dismissed these reports, saying they were completely untrue.
