” I didn’t Collapse-Wike

In a move to put to rest the swirling rumors surrounding his health, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has categorically denied reports suggesting he collapsed due to excessive alcohol use.

The minister’s statement, made on April 3, 2025, comes as a direct response to unverified claims that began circulating online in late March 2025. These rumors had been previously dismissed by Wike’s team, including his spokesperson, who labeled them as “fake” and reaffirmed the minister’s good health.

The rumors of Minister Wike’s collapse appear to have originated from unverified sources online, with some social media platforms and blogs publishing unsubstantiated reports of the minister’s alleged health incident. These claims suggested that Wike had collapsed due to excessive alcohol consumption, sparking widespread speculation and concern among the public.

However, the minister’s team and former media aide had swiftly debunked these reports, affirming Wike’s active engagement in official duties and good health.

In his statement on April 3, 2025, Minister Wike addressed the rumors directly, stating that he did not collapse and is in good health. This clarification reinforces the earlier denials made by his team and provides reassurance to the public about his well-being.

The minister’s statement is significant, as it puts to rest speculation and confirms that he is fit to continue discharging his duties as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Minister Wike’s recent public appearances and official engagements further corroborate his good health. On April 2, 2025, the minister was spotted at Abuja airport, where he was seen attending to his official duties. Additionally, on the same day, he approved the hiring of doctors, demonstrating his active involvement in governance and commitment to the development of the Federal Capital Territory. These visible public activities underscore the minister’s fitness and ability to perform his duties, contradicting the rumors of his collapse.

Wike’s statement has been met with relief and reassurance from the public, with many expressing gratitude for the minister’s clarification. The development is also seen as a testament to the minister’s commitment to transparency and accountability, as he has taken proactive steps to address the rumors and assure the public of his well-being.

The incident highlights the importance of verifying information through official channels and the need for responsible reporting, particularly in the age of social media where unverified claims can spread quickly.
