The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, was noticeably absent at President Bola Tinubu’s 73rd birthday celebration at the Presidential Villa, sparking speculation about his whereabouts, News360 Nigeria reports.

Meanwhile, Lere Olayinka, Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, has dismissed reports claiming that the minister collapsed in Abuja.

Social media posts, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), alleged that Wike slumped at an event on Friday and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital.

However, when ed by Newsmen, Olayinka denied the claims, calling them “fake.”

Despite his absence from the event, Wike took to social media to extend birthday wishes to President Tinubu.

The rumor of his ill health surfaced amid the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, where Wike and his former ally, the suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, remain locked in a fierce power struggle.

The situation worsened on Friday following new allegations against Fubara by the state’s former Head of Service, George Nwaeke.

Some reactions from his post below;

There is something about these politicians they think they have health and Life in their hands. Person wey never see Christmas is already campaigning for 2027.

And wike is a BIG thief asking for 6 BILLION monthly thats Pure Evil.

How possible wike will be absent from Tpain birthday jamboree. Something is fishing

I learned he wasn't feeling too well.

Wike the nightmare of the emergency lovers of Nigeria

Who cares ?

Some unreliable news outlets carried it that, Wike collapsed and being rushed to hospital in . Maybe the news would come out truth.

If he wasn’t there , then something really happened to him. Something serious . By the way , Special Media spokesperson is just a fancy title for official liars

That man should be calming down . I hope it is not stroke . Revoking land , massive developments in abuja, fighting Fubara , fighting Atiku . He should really calm down. It is not all fights you fight .

ko necessary

Lol.. he collapsed fantastically in a gazelle gra gra way

Little wonder these politicians take us for a ride.. We are not a serious people. Why do we focus on irrelevant things?

Tinubu is 73?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

God, I see the good work you have started, bring it to full completion in Jesus name we pray

Wike has been flown to for emergency medical attention after he collapsed yesterday. He probably will get a couple of organs replaced and infused with some adrenochrome or kids blood so he can be revitalised like the other Satanists before him. Meanwhile, their host , Emmanuel Macron; wife Bridgette is a man, and not just a man, his wife that's a man is actually his dad.

The same Wike that's fighting for his life somewhere abroad. His end is nearer than expected. Gullible man will die a miserable death.
