…Four Years After Condemning Foreign Treatment for Leaders.
Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has quietly traveled to the United Kingdom for medical treatment—just four years after publicly declaring that Nigerian leaders had “no justification” to seek healthcare abroad.
Reliable sources confirmed that Wike, the former Governor of Rivers State and one of the most outspoken figures in the country’s political landscape, left Abuja earlier this week on a discreet medical trip. According to those close to him, doctors have diagnosed him with congestive heart failure, a condition that requires urgent and sustained management. Specialists reportedly recommended a bypass surgery, but Wike is said to have declined, fearing an extended absence from office that could open political space for his rivals.
“He has congestive heart failure that is being managed,” one source disclosed. “The doctors suggested a bypass surgery, but he refused because he doesn’t want to be away for too long or risk being replaced.”
