Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Thursday dismissed social media reports that he collapsed last week, describing the reports as the handiwork of persons trying to score cheap political points.

Wike spoke after he inspected four ongoing projects in the territory, including the International Conference Centre ICC.

Wike described the reports as “baseless” and the handiwork of politicians seeking to score cheap points.

Wike’s response puts to rest speculation about his health, and he appears focused on delivering on his mandate as FCT Minister.
