Concerns Grow as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike Seen Limping at Public Event.
Social media users have expressed concern for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, after a video surfaced online showing him limping during a recent public appearance.
The video, which has since gone viral, captured Wike walking with a noticeable limp, prompting widespread speculation and worry among Nigerians.
Many netizens suggested that the minister could be grappling with a health condition and advised him to take time off from his rigorous political duties to prioritize his health.
While some observers suspected the limp might be an early sign of a partial stroke, others pointed to the intense demands of his office, noting his frequent political engagements and constant public visibility.
Here are a few reactions from X (formerly Twitter):
@kennywrites: “Wike has been everywhere lately. Maybe it’s time he rests a bit. Health is wealth.”
@DRealIfeanyi: “I don’t support his politics, but I wish him well. No one deserves to be in pain.”
@NaijaUpdates247: “Hope Wike is okay. That limp didn’t look minor. He should get it checked out and take some time off if needed.”
“Wike didn’t collapse o. We lied.”
“Instead of him to take time off and heal of his partial stroke, he is struggling to conceal it.”
“Wike, rest small, politics will always be here.”
“Stroke no catch Wike”??
