Sources privy to the minister’s health status told SaharaReporters that Wike has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and is currently under medical management.
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has indeed traveled to the United Kingdom for medical attention due to congestive heart failure. According to reports, doctors recommended a bypass surgery, but Wike declined, citing concerns about being away from his duties for an extended period and potential replacement.
This development has sparked controversy, given Wike’s past statements on medical tourism. In 2021, he emphasized that Nigeria had the necessary resources and facilities to provide quality healthcare, questioning the need for foreign medical treatment. His decision to seek treatment abroad has been met with criticism, with many accusing him of hypocrisy.
