Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed rumours about his health, insisting he is strong and well.
Speaking in Abuja, Wike mocked those spreading claims that he suffered a heart attack, saying he wished such misfortune on his detractors instead.
“I hear they have heart attack. God will continue to help them to have heart attack,” the minister said.
He added that he was prepared to write condolence letters to those wishing him ill. “It is my prayer I will sign their condolences. It’s my prayer that very soon I will write a letter that we are sorry we loved him but take heart because it’s God that gives and God that has taken,” he added.
Wike’s remarks come amid speculation over his health condition, which he has repeatedly described as false.
