In recent weeks, various rumors and discussions have emerged regarding Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). These speculations have captured the attention of political analysts and citizens alike, as they speculate on potential developments in his career.
Several posts on social media had alleged that at some point, Wike collapsed and was flown to France for treatment.
Several Nigerians are highly attentive and keeping a close eye on the health condition of the PDP chieftain who is currently serving within the APC government.
Despite the purported rumours within the political circle, the FCT Minister dismissed such allegations, describing them as the handiwork of individuals attempting to score cheap political points.
Wike addressed the speculation after inspecting four ongoing projects in the FCT, including the International Conference Centre (ICC), reaffirming his commitment to delivering on his mandate.
He said, “I don’t want to give credence to people who are only interested in carrying rumours. First of all, I’m a human being, it’s not a ghost that will collapse, it’s a human being that will collapse if there is any issue with their health. Unfortunately, I did not collapse. Wike said then”
The rumours, which spread widely on X, alleged that Wike collapsed at an event in Abuja and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.

These seem to be untrue due to Wike’s movement from one project inauguration to another within and outside the country.
According to health expert, Doctor Caleb Koleosho, disclosed that no sick person would be moving around the world like the way the FCT minister has been moving around.
To cast doubt, his latest trending photo of himself and his son in China speaks volumes about his health condition.
The former Rivers governor met with officials from the China Geoengineering Corporation Overseas Construction (CGCOC) Group to ensure the provision of water for satellite towns in the FCT
Following a successful meeting with the Chinese officials of the China Geoengineering Corporation, the FCT minister shared photos with one of his son, captioning it,“Today, I met with officials of the CP Group. The meeting is part of our official engagements in China, aimed at ensuring the provision of water and other infrastructures for Satellite Towns in the FCT.”
In the photographs below, Wike’s health has nothing to worry about, looking healthy and energetic.
