Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has refuted reports on social media that he had a heart attack, calling the claims untrue and politically driven.
In a video released on X by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, Wike criticized those circulating the rumors, saying he wished them “more heart attacks” for propagating false information.
“I hear they have heart attacks. God will continue to help them to have heart attacks,” Wike said.
The former Rivers State governor went further to taunt his critics, suggesting he was ready to sign their condolence letters when their wishes turned against them.
“It is my prayer I will sign their condolences. It’s my prayer that very soon I will write a letter that says, “We are sorry we loved him, but take heart because it’s God that gives and God that has taken,” he added.
Wike criticized the politicization of false reports, questioning the origin of the claims.
“See the level we are. We play politics with everything. How somebody can sit down and write all kinds of things. Where the person saw me, I don’t know; if he saw me at the hospital, I don’t know,” he stated.
