Wike Did Not Slump in Abuja – Lere Olayinka
Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and social media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed reports alleging that his principal collapsed in Abuja.
social media posts, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), claimed that the Minister slumped during an event on Friday in the nation’s capital. The rumors further suggested that Wike was hurriedly taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
However, Olayinka has refuted the claims, stating unequivocally that the report is “fake.” When contacted for confirmation, he denied the allegations without providing further details.
This clarification comes amid heightened political tension in Rivers State, fueled by the ongoing rift between the suspended Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and Wike, his former political mentor. The crisis took another turn on Friday when the former Head of Service in the state, George Nwaeke, made a series of allegations against Fubara, further intensifying the political atmosphere in the region.
The political turmoil in Rivers State has drawn national attention, with stakeholders weighing in on the power struggle between the two prominent figures. Observers believe the situation could have significant implications for the state’s governance and the political dynamics within the ruling party.
As the situation unfolds, concerned parties continue to monitor developments, while Wike’s camp remains steadfast in countering any misinformation about the Minister’s well-being.
