CLARIFICATION: Wike’s aide gives authentic reason on his trip to UK

Published

The spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has rubbished claims that his principal traveled to London for medical treatment.

Olayinka expressed disbelief, querying how Wike could have been rushed to London on Thursday night and yet returned by Friday to visit the Dape community in Life Camp.

He criticized those perpetuating such rumors, noting the irony of questioning the health of a minister who is actively visible in public.

In a Facebook post, Olayinka said, “Some are claiming that FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, was flown to London for medical attention on Thursday night.

“They’ve even provided specific times and an aircraft number.

“Well, if Wike was indeed flown to London on Thursday for urgent medical treatment, then he must have used witchcraft to return on Friday to visit the Dape community in Life Camp, as well as Gishiri and Pigba Sama communities in Abuja.

“Interestingly, the Minister will again use his so-called witchcraft to return to Abuja on Monday to commence the commissioning of road projects.

“People who haven’t undergone a medical check-up in over ten years are the ones speculating about the health of a Minister who is actively seen every day performing his duties. Let them continue!”
