The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has debunked rumours of medical trip abroad.
Wike speaking at the flag-off of a road construction project in the Wuye District of Abuja, on Thursday said those speculating about his health were engaging in unnecessary politics.
“You see, the level of this country where we are, we play politics with everything. How can somebody sit down and just say all kinds of things? Where the people saw me, I don’t know. The hospital you saw me in, I do not know,” he said.
The minister explained that since his appointment, he always traveling with work, but that his recent trip was deliberately used as an opportunity to rest.
“This time, I said, whatever it is, I must travel without any file. So, if the whole place will crumble, let it crumble. Because one has to be alive before one can satisfy other people. The day you drop, they will announce another person. So, you must make sure while you are working, you also take time out and relax,” Wike stated.
Wike taking a swing at those spreading the rumours, said “God will continue to help them have a heart attack. It is my prayer. I will sign the condolences. Very soon, I will tell them that we are sorry. We love them. But, take heart,” he said jokingly.
