 FCT Minister Wike to Appear on National Television, Dispelling Health Rumors


Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has announced that the minister is scheduled for a television interview on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. The announcement refutes recent rumors suggesting that Wike had traveled to the United Kingdom for medical treatment due to alleged congestive heart failure.


The rumors, propagated by an online publication, claimed that the minister’s health had deteriorated, prompting an overseas trip for medical attention. However, Olayinka’s statement on his Facebook page on Sunday dismissed these claims, confirming Wike’s upcoming media appearance.


In a related development, the reinstatement of the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, is reportedly expected to occur on the same day as Wike’s scheduled interview. Further details on the reinstatement were not provided in the announcement.
