Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has denied that he had passed out the previous week.
Wike described the reports of him collapsing as the handiwork of “baseless” people trying to score cheap political points on Thursday.

He said this after touring the International Conference Centre, or ICC, one of four active projects in the FCT.
According to posts on X, the minister passed out during a gathering in the Federal Capital Territory on Friday.
Additionally, according to the report, Wike was taken right away to an unnamed facility for treatment.
