I did not collapse – Wike reveals those behind rumour

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike on Thursday debunked reports that he collapsed last week.

Wike described the reports of him collapsing as the handiwork of “baseless” people trying to score cheap political points.

He spoke after inspecting four ongoing projects in the FCT, including the International Conference Centre, ICC.

Posts circulating on X had alleged that the minister collapsed at an event on Friday in the FCT.

The rumour also claimed that Wike was immediately rushed to an undisclosed hospital, where he received treatment.

But his media aide, Lere Olayinka had dismissed the claims, describing them as false.
